06 Is350 Nav Screen Not Responding To Touch

[xsaint53]

First off my car is kept in a garage and is Tungsten Pearl--- I read the black
IS's seen to have a greater failure rate of the touch nave screen.
Here's my issue. Got in my car yesterday to do some errands. The
"Select Language" screen that pops up every time I start
the car pops up. THIS time the touch screen is non-responsive. I have some computer monitor wipes,
so I tried using those on the screen, no difference. I saw a thread
on CL about fixing it yourself. I have ZERO (!!) mechanical
aptitude-- other than maybe changing a tire or the most VERY basic
vehicle maintenance. The DIY fix that was one here is WAAAY over my
head. I never had an issue with the touch screen prior to last night.
The side buttons still work, but the screen itself is unresponsive.
Are there any other fixes-- like rebooting the system somehow.? I
restarted the car several times and still no response. Right now a
$1200+ fix is not something I can do. Any suggestions. And the car is
way past dealer warranty. Car is in in mint condition, but still it's
an '06 with over 125 K on it. Thanks.

Although it may seem overwhelming, if you find someone mechanically inclined its really not that hard and very inexpensive repair, which works. I just did it on my 2007 Lexus IS250. Also here is the YouTube video on removing the Navigation out of the Lexus. http://youtu.be/DIcwVnj88VU you can take your navigation out and there are companies that will replace the LCD screen for $600, but you have it ship your assembly (may cause more damage) OR if you can find someone that can remove the navigation assembly out of the vehicle you can buy a LCD SCREEN from eBay for under $300 and its literally an additional 4 screws and two plugs to swap out screen... Good luck
