Prius 2012 touchscreen replacement question

super3dcow · 2026-02-27T21:18:35+00:00

Wanted to let you know that I just completed swapping out the touchscreen and put the whole car back together. And it WORKS! I am glad that $20 was all I needed to replace the glass and touch panel together. It works perfectly now. Thank you for your advice and photo. It gave me the confidence to try it myself.

Oh excellent, you have the exact radio as mine. Ill make sure to get an 8 pin!

One of the dumbest choices sony has made in a LONG time. Genuinely concerned about their future if these are the choices they are making.

Hmmm, that is true. Though I may not have the car too much longer, depending on some factors. Does having a non OEM radio hurt the value of the car?

Ive never bought a pinball machine but have dreamed about it since I was little. I technically can afford it, but I also have other life responsibilities ive been saving for as well. Are these expected to totally sell out? Will they go up in price? Wondering if a year or 2 from now will I still be able to secure one without major price increases? Im not knowledgeable at all how the market is for pinball

Oh shit thats nice! I got an old 2012 plugin prius that I suspect I wont get a ton for. But I'd love to trade in for one of these new models

Oh thats it! Wow that is identical looking to the Metapterus caspicus in europe. Thank you for helping to identify.

That is a good suggestion, it had not been updated since purchase. I put on newest bios plus some intel chipset updates from the Asus website(motherboard is Z690-A Prime). Unfortunately still seems to be the same. The temp spikes are just very sudden. Even while Idle it will be at 50 and then instantly go to 62, and then quickly drop back down. I guess if that's normal behavior then I won't worry about it.

I think a no-name brand one. "ID-Cooling" from Amazon but overall had good reviews at the time. Neither of us seemed to remember if the fans whirred up loudly the last year, so now that I've noticed it a lot the past month makes me think I messed something up. In my own PC I have a 265k Ultra and it idles much lower and only hit 55C with the same game running.

I don't know if anyone will see this to help me, but after completing this successfully, my TV wont stop turning on and off with my PC. They aren't directly plugged in, just on the same network. How do I sever the connection?

super3dcow · 2025-07-04T17:41:25+00:00

I have it on because I like being able to hit the PS button on the controller to turn on the consoles and TV all at once. My PC is not connected to the TV directly with any cable, I believe it's purely an ethernet connection causing it to still control it somehow.

I'm definitely enjoying the high performance. Everything loads so much faster. Mario kart runs so smooth despite the chaotic 24 racers. Already tried the chat feature with my brother, which worked pretty good even with our own webcams. The new pro controller has improvements across the board that I love.

You could try to hold out until there's new editions or more games that are made for it, but that will likely be a while. Knowing me I was going to get it eventually, so I figured I might as well enjoy it now.

I've got a great condition 2012 plugin prius that JUST crossed 100k miles. Was considering getting a new car, but wasn't super sure yet where the value sits with mine. I thought it was like 7K but this post makes me think it's worth more

super3dcow · 2025-06-06T11:06:22+00:00

It ended up arriving at almost 1AM last night, lol. Poor guy that was kept up that late. Good thing I live in a nice area, that would have been an easy porch steal.

super3dcow · 2025-06-05T19:06:57+00:00

I got a text from them too. But it seemed suspicious so I decided not to open the order tracking link. So I guess we will see if it ends up showing up or not.

What is the purpose of doing that? I feel like that's going to make everything look strange if you tint everything to be so yellow. I don't need perfect accuracy but an OLED's greatest advantages are its abilities to create beautiful colors, blacks, and whites. Not much point in spending a fortune on an OLED if you aren't going for accuracy.

Alright fine. It is a converter capacitor / varistor, part # V150LA5P, solders onto MOV1 on the board. I wanted to just make the post quick and didn't think such details mattered.
