Replaced Battery. Touchscreen not working now
2008 Lexus IS 250.
Bought used with no warranty.
Battery was tested slightly low before I bought it but they would not replace it.
It's been a year now and finally had to replace the battery.
Went to change AC and touchscreen not responding.
Weird thing is that the map still responds to my touch but no matter where I tough the screen the map scrolls to the right.
So I know the touch isn't completely dead but maybe needs to be calibrated?
Has anybody run into this before and have a fix?
I already knew about problems with the touch screen prior to buying and knew how expensive they are but took a chance anyway.
I reeeeally cant afford to dish out for a new screen.
Any help is highly appreciated!!

I found an ebay link on this site for digitizers running $50 each.
Only question now is to how difficult getting it installed is going to be.
Thanks for your response!

I had to repair my nav screen a couple of years ago. Pretty much the same problem you are describing. No matter where I touched, it was like touching one particular spot. I didn't replace the digitizer. I used a silver conductive pen. I didn't really expect it to last this long. When it goes again, I'll just get the digitizer.Pretty cheap on aliexpress
