No, its no longer under warranty, will have to pay to fix, what did they do to cause it to suddenly freeze up...

Can someone explain what exactly the "down" position is? I don't want to break them, but they move around fairly easily, but I feel no click or anything that would indicate something is "free".

Thx

I found the vid in post 318. Problem solved

ok, my thanks to the people who contributed to this thread, in particular post #1 and post #318. I now have a working screen. I was going to leave this whole thing until today, but decided last evening to start on it. I did run into a couple of small issues, but mostly the information in those two posts is on the money. I had my unit working and back in the car by noon today.
In case anyone runs into the same problem, to get the face off I had to remove the two side brackets. Between the display and the dvd changer there are two small clips that were preventing the face from coming loose. Once the dvd unit was out of there the clips were easy to spot and unfasten. No real problem getting it back together except the cable that connects to the ash tray kept getting in the way. The video from post #318 doesn't mention them at all, and i was trying to remove the face plate without removing those brackets.

I guess we'll see how long the fix lasts. I think the biggest satisfaction from this is knowing that the next time it goes I can go buy a $50 touch screen and replace that part and fix the problem for good (hopefully).

Also of note: My circuit writer pen doesn't work very well. I had more success sticking a pin in the end, drawing out a small bubble of fluid and applying that to the circuit.

How much is the screen replacement cost if DIY?

I do not have this issue (knock on wood) but just wondering.

Thanks

Has anyone else who has done this fix ended up shorting out their hazards and clock? I have no idea how, but I thought I simply fried the clock circuit, so bought a new one. That didn't fix it. For the life of me can't find a blown fuse. All fuses under the passenger side are good.

Any ideas?

Although I gained my nav back, not having a clock sort of sucks. haha

When I posted "touch screen", I guess i should have said "digitzer" instead.
Search this thread to find the digitizers people are talking about. I don't know if any one of them in particular is recommended as being better than something else.

I'm probably going to end up ordering a new screen (w/ digitizer) which I guess is LTA070B511F? Anyone have a particular eBay seller I should trust? I saw some people say they got screens with a different hue and some people say they got screens that looked clearer. Obviously I'd prefer no hue and much clearer.

Has anyone ever found a fix to this issue? Experiencing the same thing and hoping that someone might share how they got their bluetooth working again.

Thanks in advance?

dmelczer

For anyone interested, at least my Bluetooth issue has been solved.

It turns out that the Bluetooth receiver module is located directly beneath the MAP, DEST, and MENU buttons and is enclosed in clear plastic. This has a cable that goes completely beneath the touch screen to almost the complete opposite side of the unit where it plugs in underneath the touchscreen. When reassembling, I must have knocked that connector loose and didn't realize it.

I hope this helps someone else...

The plug that fits the hazard/clock unit also fits the cd input/ lower unit. You might have them switched. The satellite radio plug is also the same and should go between cd/DVD unit and cd/DVD plug. Hope this helps

Anyone in Phoenix been successful and willing to help?

So, my wife's 2008 IS 250's touch screen finally went out. Surviving 125k miles of hard driving, it's actually somewhat of a miracle.

Nonetheless, thanks to you fine folks I was able to remove the screen and do "the fix." In my over-eagerness to remove everything I lost track of where all the connections go. I tried to reinstall, but am not getting power to the air conditioning unit and think I may have something incorrectly plugged in. The only potential mix up could be with the following wires (see pics). There are three plugs that are the same size, with only two ports that go into the head unit itself. Does anyone know the correct way to plug these in?

Thanks,

MG

The one clip that is attached to the side of the unit there should have a matching wire that is separated by itself and will not be "bundled" with others. If I remember correctly, all of the others were a bundled grouping which all connected into the rear of the unit.

Just saw this. You sir are a genius!!!!!

I had no idea they were the same size. Took apart the dash and voila, I have a clock again! Isn't the whole point of the different sized plugs to avoid this exact situation? Thanks again man!
