Touchscreen issue on first gen leaf

makeorbrake · 08-05-2022 11:03pm #1

Any Leaf owners had any issues with the touchscreen? I have a 2016 Leaf that has 33% of the touchscreen unresponsive.

I'm guessing there's no fixing this - I'll need to replace it. Are there any aftermarket options for this or will I need to call round all of the breakers? (we won't even mention original Nissan touchscreen as I assume that will cost more than the car!).

2014 one and right hand side of screen is dodgy.

This seems to be a theme - re. rhs of screen being dodgy. Mine is also non-functional on the rhs - and that same issue pops up in this thread => here

There's some very good info in that thread - but I neither have the time nor inclination to go soldering! I'm hoping that there's an easier fix possible at this stage.

I'd be surprised if there isn't a Leaf-driving boardsie who has not been down the road of fixing this. If you're reading this, there are a couple of us who would appreciate hearing how you got it sorted out :-)

@Andrea B. I haven't tried this on my car just yet as I'm away from it for a few days. However, I came across this screen recalibration drill that some have used and fixed the problem for them - might be worth a try...

1. Start the car. 2. Set the radio to FM. 3. Press MAP 3 times, Audio Power twice, and MAP one more time. This should open the System Diagnostic Menu. 4. Tap Confirmation/Adjustment. 5. Tap Display Diagnosis. 6. Tap Touch Panel. 7. Tap Touch Panel Calibration. 8. Follow the onscreen instructions to recalibrate the four corners.

Thanks. Will try that and feedback.

Did this work. Having the same issue here on a 2015!

It didn't work in my case. I don't know how Nissan can get away with this - without it being a recall item. It's as clear as night and day that there's an issue with this screen. These are not one-offs. If you go on to any EV forum, there are plenty of Leaf owners that find themselves with this exact issue. Not only do they not own up to it - but they're benefitting from it - with a 1000euro price tag to replace the unit.

I know a 2015 with issues on the right side of the touchscreen.

have a look at this thread https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=21413, I have the same issue with my Leaf 2016's touch screen and going to replace it with a new one purchased from AliExpress for 15 EUR.

I find it works if I use two fingers. So middle finger rest gently slightly away from where you want to press, then you press required part of right screen with index finger and it works.
