THANK YOU very much for this video. My screen on my 2012 Prius stopped working, I did the 'hard press' around the edges and now it works fine. I very much appreciate your time making and posting this . You saved me the cost of a new screen and / or repair.
Wow! I was sceptical that such a simple fix could work. But the finger around the edge DID! Thank you so much Pyro Tech. I was afraid I was gonna have to pull the MFD out and send away for repair. You saved me so much work and money!
Phenomenal! Mr. PyroTech76, you really know what you're talking about! I was about to buy a new MFD for my 2006 Prius (110k miles) and have it installed, but tried your fix first and it worked without needing to take anything apart. FREE FIX! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the simple fix! My 07 Prius with 161K lost it's MFD function. I tried cleaning to no avail. Thought I'd check CZcams before replacing it. This worked like a charm. Thanks, again!
2006 Prius, 120K. Thank you so much. Your approach indeed worked for our Prius, pushing my finger gently to the all surrounding corner. It immediately became responsive. Wow, no kidding. Please make sure you try this approach before considering a replacement.
We have a 2007 Prius that we have owned for about 3 years and we replaced the touch screen when we acquired it. Because without the touch screen, all the cool things do not work. Man I wish we would have had this video because it could have fixed the original one maybe lol. So thank you. I did the business card thing and cleaned out the dust and cleaned it really well with glass cleaner and the touch screen came back. And now will live for another day. Yay
Thank you so much. You literally saved me at least a hundred bucks for a replacement. Your solution is so simple, and yet so effective, working like a charm. God bless you~
Thanks! This really helped! I would add that anyone who does this might want to have their car cooled off or at least sitting in the shade before doing this. Otherwise, it really "burns" your fingertips. 😲
Im thumbing you up already because this looks like it could work. Gonna try it tonight. But i had the same hunch about why it might give trouble. Thanks!
Although I appreciate your fix, there's one thing you mentioned that I highly warn against- using glass cleaner anywhere near these displays... The ammonia can etch into certain displays, removing anti glare coatings in odd patches, or even around the edges etching into the contacts to either touch screen or lcd contact points... maybe this could be why the unit is malfunctioning in the first place, was glass cleaner used before the problem started? It looks like it could wick through the edge and pool there. I say use at least 70% rubbing alcohol to clean, the alcohol evaporates quickly, without etching into anything, and be carefull to mop up any liquid getting onto the screen before it can wick into the edge, continuing to cause trouble after you clean and dry the area of the screen that is visible...
Pyrotech76, a thousands thanks!! I have been looking a very expensive chip replacements online and this worked immediately. I have a 2006 Prius with about the same amount of mileage in your video. You Rock!
This is a great fix, but if it does not work for you and you are not a DIY guy and still want to save money, there is an option to send your unit to have it rebuilt. Here is the link: www.upfix.com/product/toyota-prius-2004-2009-mfd-navigation-radio-multifunctional-display-repair/
Guess what everyone!!!!! If screen is black...Unplug 3 connectors from back battery by taillight for 2 hours and then plug back in VOILA ! I've done this twice and always works.
@@JessieDeluxe Yes I'm talking about the center touch screen only, it will display audio, climate, and a couple others... but some screens like gps and others come up black when you try to use them.
our 2006 dash lights went out and car would not turn off. Finally did for my husband and dash back on. Just had our screen replaced 2 weeks ago! for a Amazon $46.00 part! $200 to install!! Son says to sell it!!!
i like to complete my reaction that i push't a creditcard between the screen and the plastic window and circulate around en probably removed some dirt that pushed again the touchscreen again THANKS👍👍👍 wim Netherlands
You can replace the touchscreen component. It requires partial disassembly of the dash to remove the MFD, and then almost complete disassembly of the MFD to replace the touch screen. There are CZcams tutorials detailing these processes, let me know if you need any assistance.
I have strange issue with the display . The energy display does not work / its blank dark/ but everything else works fine including at start you see the toyota logo and everything but the main battery energy does not come up . It stays dark . ANy ideas ?
Are you able to control the stereo and AC? If only the battery/ charge functions are missing a supporting module for that function has failed (would need to research further). If it displays the Toyota logo and then fails to display anything else, seems like this is a boot failure. The boot memory module is probably at fault.
@@PyroTech76 THANK YOU SO MUCH for fast reply ! After your message I went to check if everything else works indeed / AC and Audio /. AC and Audio worked fine. Than I went to Info than clicked on Trip info and the battery / energy /screen showed up and everything seems fine now ... I don't know if somebody played with buttons and turned the screen OFF and it takes to go through the Info and trip info to turn it back on again ... I don't know . But the good news is that it works now . THANK YOU so much again !
@@PyroTech76 Just curious .. are all al those modules you were talking that could fail inside the unit and if you replace with good unit all of those particular issues are solved ?
@VESANG Hey, I didn't even think of someone turning off the MFD functions, I forgot about that. There are external modules which communicate to the MFD, while others are part of the MFD. I've read there is an simple IP network (of sorts) which is utilized, I haven't dug too deeply into it.
If i can see the screen partially in the daytime and gets better at night time. would the be an issue with just the outer screen replacement or would that be the actual internals of the display?
@@khalidmahmood8466sorry. yeah, that is probably your best option unfortunately. CFLs in screens are as thin and brittle as pencil lead, and you could still have a problem with the power going to them. I ended up replacing the digitizer on the screen in the video, taking these MFDs apart is not for the faint of heart.
Nothing easy to fix with that issue, sorry. What you are describing seems most likely to be an issue with the BackLighting or BL power supply. Would need to open up the MFD to analyze it.
@@vivianbobka5239 It's been quite a while since I had my MFD taken apart, I don't recall how the cold cathode circuit was designed. Repair of the back light power supply USUALLY consists of replacing a couple of capacitors in the AC switching circuit immediately before the high voltage transformer.

Hi, the touch of my Prius 2008 does not work. What can I do?
As soon as he said “if you smoke,” I already knew what he was cooking up. Mine worked by cleaning out the ashes 💀 thanks, friend
Thank you so much. You literally saved me at least a hundred bucks for a replacement. Your solution is so simple, and yet so effective, working like a charm. God bless you~
Thank you! It worked! You just saved a single unemployed mom some money!
This worked on our 2006 Prius! Took me 15 seconds and it was working fine again. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Wow! It is incredible! I fixed the touch screen of the monitor with this way. You are great man. Thank you very much!

ok so it worked be interested to see how long it stays working thank for the post
Had to change my touchscreen a while back, it was cracked. Around $18 on Ebay, and a couple hours of annoying screws and clicky panels.

@@Superado2006 Im not sure what you mean, my technique worked for center touch screen.
@@JessieDeluxe Yes I'm talking about the center touch screen only, it will display audio, climate, and a couple others... but some screens like gps and others come up black when you try to use them.
@@Superado2006 Interesting...I would try my method! Not hard to do and free! It might reset everything👍
Jesse DeLuXe, same problem with 2006, is yours working yet?
Hello Pyrotech THANKS !!! Fore the tip it works fine fore me 👍👍👍
Nice video, tried it on my 2008 Prius, but no improvement
Helped me! Hopefully will last. Thank you!!!
This works on newer models too! Thanks!!
Thank you for the video. This worked perfectly.

Worked! Thanks very much!
Wow. Holy crap. Thanks man.
Thank you! I'm gonna try this.
Thanks. It worked!
Don't work for me but thanks for the tutorial. I need to replace the touch screen ???

Amazing!!!
Didn’t work for me but thanks. Maybe would’ve worked when I first started having touch issues.
Sorry to hear that. It eventually stopped working for me as well and I replaced the front touch sensor glass myself.
@@PyroTech76 how’d you know to replace the glass and not the whole unit?
it worked

Thanks dude! That totally works!
does it really?
My radio won't turn on.
No Did not work for me
Sorry to hear that. Mine eventually stopped working too. There is a video somewhere showing how to replace the screen if you want to do it yourself.
Ty!!!!
