Dude, seriously. Thank you. You saved my life as well as $650 to buy a whole new unit. So either Jeep got a bad batch of screens or these things have a 5-year lifespan. Either way, all is well now. Thank you for this.

You are so very welcome! I'm not sure what the deal is, I'm hoping it's not a 5 year lifespan otherwise I might consider buying another one and putting it in storage lol

Thank you so much for this video! The same issue started around Feb. ‘24. Followed your instructions and replacing the screen was a breeze. Got the screen from Amazon and later decided to get a back up just in case 😂 The plastic bezel is definitely the hardest part to remove but every else was pretty easy. Dealer wanted to charge $1900 to fix despite telling them the audio and computer still works.

Thank you so much! Great instructions. Changed mine out in about 45 min with your video. Dealership wanted over 600.00 THANK YOU!!

UPDATE: It works! So, on a hunch I purchased a second replacement screen. Got it in and it fired right up! Turns out the first replacement must've had a bad LCD (but good digitizer). 3 dealerships and they all quoted over $1,000 for replacement of the whole unit.

Is this just happening to everyone universally in Feb 2024? Mine just started going out the same way

I ordered a replacement digitizer from Amazon and was able to replace it fairly easily. Once I completed the installation, the unit basically works fine but the capacitive touch screen does not work at all. I tried to contact the folks at Amazon to determine if I could reach Vorgens (manufacturer) but without success, so I have not choice but to return it and start over. I cannot thank you enough for your very detailed video. I could not have not done it without your step by step assistance. One comment. When you get to the point of removing the old screen from its holder, mine was really very well glued in. With a little help from a hair dryer on hot/high, I was able to soften it enough so that it came out fairly easily, so I would recommend that. If anyone has a thought about the touch screen issue, I would welcome it. Thank you again for the video!

Thanks for the kind words. I would recommend double checking your connection. It's very easy for them not to be seated correctly. The one in the middle should be for the screen while the one closer to the edge should be for the digitizer. Make sure it is fully seated and straight.

I just went to my car to start the process over again in hopes of finding a solution, and, fortunately, before removing the unit again, I tested it and it works just the way it is supposed to. All functions are good. Perhaps the capacitive touch needed to energize, or something. There seems to be a bit of a delay in the screen touch process but it's very minor and I can live it with it. So for all those who read my first review, I hope you look over th entire conversation and the unit is now functioning perfectly and I can recommend it without any hesitation.

@duffygilfillan4540

One more update period I let it set for another hour or so and tested it again and now believe it or not, the delay is gone so the unit is working absolutely perfectly and I couldn't be happier so don't take any points away from the one that I purchased. It just seemed to take a little bit of extra time to completely function. Believe me, I am one happy camper. It`s always a good day when both the surgeon and patient survive.

I was REALLY hoping this would have worked for me. I have a Renegade with the exact same system. About 2 years ago it started doing the lines. It would get better with AC like yours. Looked exactly like yours. About a year after it started it just went black. I was HOPING this would fix it. It did not, unfortunately. The digitizer still works because I can still press and interact, I just can't see what I'm interacting with. Your instructions were great, though. And the process was easy

There is a 5, 7, and 8.4 inch screen size available. They are all VERY different so if you Google each one you will be able to tell what you have just by comparing pictures of each one. If it looks like mine, then it's a 7 inch You can also measure corner to opposite corner to determine the size.
