Default Weird NAV screen problem. HELP

I can move around on the map, so the touchscreen still works, it just seems a little of sync with where you touch on the screen. I have read through tons of posts about broken nav units with zero response to touch. mine responds, but its odd. I touch the middle of the screen on the map and its scrolls to the right.

I would love to get that screen, taking apart the unit i have no problem with to replace, but i am worried about ruining the dash as this was replaced by dealer last year, so it is still new looking, no marks at all.

hey guys. I worked with 6 lexus already. isx50s.

As for the OP YES thats a touch screen problem.

Proof:
on my first time on my own car, I tried the DIY and after the 1st try, i had the same exact symptoms as you. 2nd try no luck. 3rd try i rerouted all the 4 wires again and it worked.

It just means that if it moves to the left only, its because only 1 out of your 4 wires is working.

If it goes to the right, and bottom diagonally, it means 2 of the 4 wires is working and so on.


If you were in cali i would definitely take a look and help you out here . I do this for free to help out other local CL members!

My screen is doing exactly what you have described, it only scrolls to the bottom right no matter where I touch the screen. No text buttons work at all, it only scrolls.

I talked to a shop that fixes nav systems and they indicated that if it is scrolling at all then the connections are ok and that the problem is not a broken circuit.

Is the fix to the problem you have described done by retracing the broken circuit with a circuit writing pen between the ribbon cable and the glass edge?

That shop is wrong. Because mine did the same thing, scrolls to the right when I touched center. Eventually no touch at all. All my connects were severed. I'm gonna do the DIY fix this weekend.
