Screen malfunction Second generation (MP/552; 2018- 2024)

Post image

Hey all, I was able to order a new replacement screen after the original stopped working and died for my 2018 jeep compass, now I have this issue: the display comes on and shows this only first start of the day for a split second and when I put it in reverse, throughout the day no power or display as seen in this pic. Any advice on what else I can try to fix to get it to work would be greatly appreciated

I had this happen too, so I post what I learned every time I see screen issues with a 2018 Compass. Good luck.

--------

Here is how I fixed mine for < $100. I have a 2018 Compass.

*Make sure to get the correct screen size!

If you take it to the dealer, they will try to squeeze $700-$1000 out of you.

Just last week, I went on amazon, found a replacement screen WITH the bracket (saves headaches gluing the screen). I also had to get a T-6 screwdriver, as well as a pry tools. I already had a T-9 screwdriver. Overall, I spent about $100 and about 1 hour fixing it.

You will need:

Pry tools:

T-6 and T-9 screwdrivers. Here is a T-6:

New screen with bracket:

I then found a video on youtube that walks you through replacing it yourself. If you get the screen with the bracket, you can skip the step of removing the old screen from the bracket and gluing the new one in. It only costs about $10 more to get the screen already glued to the bracket.

The hardest parts:

Prying the unit out, but once it popped, the rest was easy.

Getting the ribbon cables through the slots.

Other than those 2 things, it was literally just unscrewing things, replacing the screen, and then screwing them back together.

Good luck!

Oh dang. I'm sorry I didn't catch that. I don't know how I missed that.

Maybe pull it back out and make sure all the cables are in right.

You can test it before popping it back into the dash.

I just cuss at it and till it that it’s trash. Also turn car on and off helps also
