    Well, my Prius' screen is running fine but thismorning our Lexus RX350's MFD would not turn on. (No boot logo, no audible touch response, dead).

    I am wondering if Toyota uses the same screen bits in the Prius and the Lexus? Are they swappable? If they are, or if they are close, then is there a possibility that the MFD deaths on many a Prii could carry over to some Lexus models?

    Wondering if I can get any answers before I tear the dash apart on the Lexus and probe it.

    I'm sure they are the same components...

    Is your RX still under warranty?
