Backup Camera problem

HI,

Suddenly my backup camera is no longer working. When I put in to reverse, the screen went blank except display "Check surrounding for safety". I anyone has this problem. Mine is 2004 with 36K miles. Is there anyway to reset or I have to visit the dealer. Is it under warranty?

Thanks

The Rear (back-up) Camera warranty has just been extended to 7 years, unlimited mileage, for the 2004 Lexus GX 470.

Thanks Cap - that's good to know. Mine sometimes goes out but usually comes back okay on next start or shortly thereafter. Guess I can milk it longer until it really goes out and have it replaced. Appreciate the heads up

What he said with the removal process, mine was flickering and going in and out.
06 GX 470 once i had the camera removed i cleaned it up and soldered the red wire
make sure when you put the camera back under the license you didn't put together upside
down..test it first.
