    My Car multimedia touchscreen on 2013 two did not work suddenly since Friday night.
    does working randomly today and suddenly quit.
    the weather is like roller coaster...... recently almost 2 weeks.

    finally after thinking that the touchscreen is resistive Not capacitive,I can figure out.
    The bezel plastic on Car multimedia is pressing against touchscreen display on right top corner side.
    I use my finger nail to insert/pull out all around plastic bezel edge, and suddenly works when pulling out on right top corner side.

    my conclusion:
    this seem hot and cold/freezing weather make the plastic bezel expands and shrinks, and stuck/presses against touchscreen screen edge.

    Take the screen apart of the bezel and install a few wedges at the fastening points; better yet, make the Toyota Svc Center do that under a warranty issue.

    No...
    Actually, my wife was " banging" on the dash on that time (monday) to fix . Touchscreen worked suddenly for 3 minutes and stopped.


    No one drive the car, only me.

    touchscreen works now.
    when it happens again, will call svc center to fix under warranty.

    thanks

    Still under warranty:D. from that point, I knew roughly the issue :D

    still remember from Armagedon Movie (1998) quote:
    Lev Andropov: It's stuck, yes?
    Watts: Back off! You don't know the components!
    Lev Andropov: [annoyed] Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!
    *bang bang, it works!*
