    I'm new here so please pardon me. I have a 2004 Prius with a "screen that works"; it's blank for the majority of the time, but when I mess with the volume or climate control it will have a delayed or randomly-seeming alert.

    It won't show navigation and won't let access any of the buttons. So, what exactly is screwed up here so I can get it fixed? :confused:

    Please help!

    Sounds like you will have to get your screen replaced or fixed.

    If your good with a soldering iron you can fix it your self. Hobbit did I nice write up on the whole thing. Prius MFD

    You could get someone to do it for you if you know someone.

    Or you can pay the dealer about $500 or more to get a replacement.

    This sounds like symptoms of the MFD design flaw in 2004 and early 2005 models. Toyota USA may pay part of the cost if you ask.
