nav screen blank

Hi everyone, I am new here and have been searching like a **** but no luck.

I have a 2001 gs430 with a blank nav screen, the touch screen still works but no picture? I assume I need a new screen? not sure.

Can anyone point me in the right direction maybe key words to search.

thanks

everything I could think of, I've read all your post about upgrading to a gen4 system which is cool. But I would hate to spend $500 on computer and find out I need a screen. Just thought this would be a very common problem with these?

Thanks

you could pay a lexus dealership to diagnose just so you know for sure what the problem is. a new screen with your exchange will be about $2k unless you can find a wrecked car with the screen and get it for less.
