Default back up camera screen black

Has anyone had any issues with their back up camera? when I put it in reverse it switches screens but the display is black.

Does anyone have any wiring diagrams of the back up camera system?

Change the back up camera. Seems that your nav screen is still working. Ive already had to change one on a ls430 ls460 gs300 and gs350's already

well I tore it all apart today and found a bunch of corrosion inside the camera (similar to my height sensor for the headlights, I don't know why Lexus cant seem to seal things up properly??), I sprayed the internal circuitry with contact cleaner and plugged it in, it worked but was quite blurry. None of the local parts stores had anything that would be easy to work with, so I went on ebay and found an OEM camera for 340$ shipped. I decided to just go that route instead of trying to make something work.
