if that the case that a easy swap then but dont you think for the price of the screen you can pick up a whole unit cheaper ,but then again run the risk of it happening again idk

You need a soldering iron with smallest tip you can find and a soldering iron sucker. This will be the hardest part because the pins are very small and they cannot touch other pins (short circuit). Easy way would be to pay someone to solder it for you. Install in reverse and you're done.


Edit: Found the DIY. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es3...radio-lcd.html. Good luck!

You pretty much answered your own question. but then again run the risk of it happening again (or probably even worse problems since you don't know the condition). If you replace the LCD, you know its 100% brand new. But its your choice.
