How to Repair a Damaged Car Touchscreen?
2 Answers
Unclean residue from the screen protector can cause unresponsiveness. Wipe the screen clean to ensure there is no grease or water, and normal functionality should be restored. It is necessary to visit a specialized repair shop where technicians will use professional diagnostic equipment to inspect the screen and perform targeted repairs. To initialize the central control system, press the reset button, then reinstall the system afterward to restore normal operation.
The car touchscreen is broken, and I tried to fix it myself. First, check if it's a software issue by restarting the vehicle or disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. If the screen has cracks or is physically damaged, it might be a hardware issue. You can look for DIY repair tutorials online, purchase a compatible touchscreen component, and carefully disassemble the center console panel to replace it—tools needed include a screwdriver and a pry bar. Remember to disconnect the battery before starting to prevent short circuits. If the repair seems too difficult or risky, it's better to go to a professional shop to avoid damaging other circuits. Avoid using your nails to poke the screen to prevent premature wear. From my experience, if the touchscreen is lagging or partially unresponsive, recalibrating the settings might help.
