Thank you! This one works for me while the more common “hold down the climate button” thing almost never does. Of course, the permanent solution is a $5 capacitor and a soldering gun, but I want to put off taking my dash apart for as long as possible.

Hi, I recently got my car battery changed at Toyota. Drove it home.. later than evening I went to get groceries and my dashboard was completely off. The only thing I can’t do is hit the unlock button because my key fob isn’t working. (Costs $500 at Toyota to get it fixed and not doing that) trust me, I’ve changed batteries and the key fob just doesn’t signal my car (smart key) so with that being said.. is there another way to do it without pressing key fob? Thanks!!

You need to locate the 12v battery in the hatch area. It's located on the passenger side under a small access panel. Once located, there will be a RED cover (Unless it's missing) over the positive terminal of the battery, remove the RED cover and you should see TWO plastic connectors, one being large and white and the other to the right of that one, a smaller plastic connector. Remove BOTH connectors from the battery, wait for a few minutes, and then plug them back in. This should solve your issue, if not then idk...hope this helps!? In case you can't find what I'm talking about, watch this video, he shows you what I'm referring to. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ab5gecp_xLrZgGw.htmlsi=2b3-pGt0niaw1hFu

One more thing, if you need a another newer browser besides Firefox, which still supports Win7 while Chrome-based Browsers no longer do it, theres a Browser called "Thorium-win7" developed by one guy it seems (but you have to trust him) that still uses a newer chrome-based code and he made it work on Win7. But it still looks a little Beta imho.

I still use Windows 7 on several of my older laptops and a few desktop systems and have no issues whatsoever. I found workarounds to newer hardware issues as well as limitations of 7... it's fully functional and runs faster and more efficiently than Windows 10. 7 was and still is a fantastic operating system. I know of MANY fortune 500 companies that are legitimately still running XP (Enterprise Edition) (people say using it outside of the company it was licensed to is "illegal," but I've never had issues with it) and XP Professional works wonderfully as well. The point I'm making with Windows XP is that if they are still updating it on the down low, then you know they are still supporting 7 as well, as many of the aforementioned companies still use 7 as well, too. Long live Windows 7!

@mystermathers 8 ай бұрын

I think I ran a compatibility test on my machine a few years back to see if it could run windows 10 but came back as a fail. Some hardware was compatible and some were not. Either way, I'm not a big fan of windows 10. I have windows 10 home premium on my laptop and it constantly is running updates in the background bogging it down. I tried every hack to turn it off but it always finds a way to turn it back on. I may try windows 11 in the future but for right now, I'm happy with windows 7.

Not true. Opera works. There are forks of Chromium that work, Vidali works, Firefox has extended support until August of 2024, Opera One, Midon Next Generation works, and I do believe the Brave browser still offers Windows 7 support as well. You have several options readily available to you! Check them out!

Dude, some hardware can't even run Win 10. Have you considered maybe he's using an older laptop / PC?? There have been major security changes and drivers changes between 7, 8, and 10. Lots of people had to just buy new hardware only to upgrade to Win 10 specifically because of TPM requirements also. Ofc you can get around that bs anyways but doesn't mean you're gonna have functioning drivers when trying to use older obsolete hardware and that's if you can even get Windows to boot with 10 or 11.

Yes, I think in order to downgrade newer gen PC's to Win 11 you'd have to look for (probably) non existent Win 7 / 8 drivers which is really unfortunate... Although I hated Win 8 like most ppl lmao. But 7 was the best and I think most people would agree with me on that. I am happy the UK is forcing Microsoft to make changes to their OS, it is great for everyone tho. I think UK did the same with Apple, forcing them to switch to USB C ports was another example... Like for example I have a newer Socket LGA1700 (Intel) motherboard with an i5-12600k + RTX 3060 so I doubt they even make drivers for my mobo. :/ I've wanted to try Win 7, but I don't think I could without sacrificing some hardware just not functioning without drivers lmao.

It's the best car I've ever owned, but be careful with buying used. I've owned mine for 19 years (longest ever) and started to have some problems around 4 years ago when I first needed to replace the hybrid battery. I replaced it was a rebuilt one that lasted 3.5 years and then replaced it with another rebuild one earlier this year. I also needed to replace things that wear out over the last 19 years like door locks, headlight bulbs, both rear light assemblies because the LEDs went out, and the multi CD player. I still get around 42-44 mpg. When new it would get around 50-52 mpg. I currently have around 285,000 miles on it, but I've been ready for a new car for the last few years now. I ordered a new Prius Prime March of 2023 and still waiting. In hoping by the end of the year.🤞 BTW I had the disappearing dash thing happen three times since the beginning of 2023. . I recommend buying the newest Prius you can and hopefully from a single owner or from a dealer with a good certification process and warranty.

@@Vp09Iphone the only way you can fix it is by removing the motherboard and replacing the one capacitor the fails and causes the cluster not to come on, or send it out to a service company who fixes these and they charge you $100 to do the work. The only difficult part is removing it yourself, you don’t need a whole lot of experience on how to wrench to remove it. It’s pretty straight forward, KZfaq is your friend on this! There’s plenty of videos on how to remove it on here 😁 Best of luck!

@EscoWanders I was having the same problem. Research led me to believe it's the capacitor. My workaround had been to disconnect the 12V battery in trunk; then reconnect it. This works but began to be more of a nuisance. I decided to wire a light -switch (common AC light switch 120V/15A found cheaply in hardware stores) with a short length of wire (common lamp-wire 14-gauge). Wired between grounding screw and ground wire to battery. This method allows easy access to disconnect/reconnect battery (i.e. reset electrical system). Capacitors acts to reduce ripple effect on the voltage. The main problem seems to be as the original capacitor(s) degrade over time, they may no longer reliably reduce the initial ripple (upon startup) to allow the computer to fully initialize; hence the multifunction display isn't brought online. While the light-switch was a fairly easy, quick, and cheap workaround, it seems to also have resolved the issue! Perhaps the addition of the switch and wiring induces a small measure of capacitance? In any case, I haven't had that issue again in months, if it recurs I can reset via the switch. Note: I folded the excess metal of switch and used electrical tape wrapped around it to form protective 'wings' so switch doesn't accidentally get switched OFF. Works great!
