I posted in a previous thread when my touch screen on the MFD went dead. It was due to a crack from a suction mount that had been affixed to the screen by the prior owner. I replaced the screen & digitizer with a new Toshiba part, and everything was fine again... until about 2 weeks ago.
The issue started about 15min after I washed the Cruiser at one of those self- pressure washing coin machines. I wasn't sure if it was a coincidence, or somehow related. I should add that I have a back-up camera mounted on the rear bumper jerry can carrier. I thought something could have shorted out. basically, the screen was black, with vertical lines through it. Occasionally it would flicker into a different pattern. After a day or two, the screen would temporarily function normally again, but always return to the lined screen eventually. It seemed that something needed to dry out, but after a couple weeks, the problem persisted.
I decided the first step (after just inspection the wiring) was to try a new screen. Perhaps it was premature failure, and I had had luck the first time.
I just installed the new screen tonight, and much to my disappointment, the problem is still there. However, now the screen is just scrambled, rather than completely out, and the touch functions work. Since the displayed image is different, could it be that I just got another faulty screen, or is there something else in the system that is broken?
Appreciate any input from you guys. Attached are two pictures. The black and red lines are prior to the replacement tonight, and the second is tonight after I put the new screen in.
