Video summary of our repair process

Note: 1 Hour Break In Period

After installing our new screen, some customers will say certain areas are not responding to to touch.

This phenomenon is caused by two things:

1. Acclimation: These Malibu systems design are nearly 15 years old and are limited by the original touch grid layout.

This requires you to use a bit more contact point than just your finger tip, as you would use on your cell phone which has a finer touch grid.

2. Break In: Next, the screen can take 1-2 hours of use or exposure to sun to "break in." During this period, it may be slightly less responsive than it will as the materials are softened. Very similar to when you get new brake pads on your car.

Rest assured, after a slight break in period and applying the correct contact area for each button, your device will be operating perfectly!

What do we replace?

  • New LCD Display

    The custom new LCD ensures there is no risk of obsolesence like the original CCFL LCD.

  • Bonded digitizer

    Our brand new anti-delamination bonded digitizer ensures this is a "one and done" fix. No rebonding of old parts here.

  • Cover glass

    Our custom finished glass uses anti-fingerprint technology and resists water spots.

  • OE Grade Wiring

    We use new wiring to match the new components to the reused motherboard.

Save thousands.

Is mtc design better than the original?

Our design is our proprietary anti-delamination design, and should not suffer from the common issues. In addition, we use a durable LED backlight that is brighter than the original. Finally, we add a nice anti-fingerprint coating that resists water spots and fingerprints.

How to remove from the boat?

Check behind the screen, remove the two nuts. Disconnect the plug. The screen comes out from the front with the chrome bezel attached. On Tige versions, you will need to remove the front chrome bezel first, its held on with double sided foam tape.

Is there any programming?

No. With all repair options, all of your settings remain the same. For refurbushed units, you can change your controls under the switch- setup menu.

How do I know this will fix my issue with my Malibu or Tige screen??

On the Malibu 3962052 and Tige C2003 units, we typically see delamination, frozen or unresponsive, and dim or dark backlight. Our replacement updated screen fixes all of those issues permanently.

My friend said they can clean out the old glue and rebond it and solve the issue for much lower price?

This is a common belief. In our experience repairing thousands of these, it is not feasible and far too time consuming. The glue leaks inside the LCD resulting in permanent lines. In addition, we have never seen a quality job done with no artifacts or visual distortions after a rebond. This is why we only replace the parts with new.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience with MTC Screens

I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience with MTC Screens.

The touchscreen on my 2012 Tige boat had developed severe delamination and had become difficult to use. After researching repair options, I contacted MTC Screens and was impressed from the very first conversation. They answered my questions promptly, explained the repair process clearly, and provided excellent customer service throughout.

What really stood out was the turnaround time. From the day I shipped my screen to the day I received it back was only 5½ days, including the repair itself. That’s remarkable service by any standard.

The screen came back looking great, was carefully packaged, and installed without issue. The touchscreen functions are responsive and the display looks significantly better than before.

In a time when good customer service can be hard to find, MTC Screens exceeded my expectations. If you’re dealing with a delaminated or malfunctioning marine touchscreen, I would highly recommend giving them a call.

Thank you to the entire MTC Screens team for a professional, efficient, and customer-focused

I had a great experience working with MTS Screens

I had a great experience working with MTS Screens. Their customer support and technical assistance were excellent throughout the entire process.

Charles was extremely helpful, taking the time to review photos and videos, explain possible issues, and guide us through troubleshooting steps. Even after we sent the unit in for inspection, he provided a clear and honest evaluation of the condition of the module and offered practical solutions to get us back up and running.

Communication was always prompt and professional, and their willingness to help diagnose and resolve the issue made a big difference.

If you are dealing with Maliview, Smart Touch, or other marine display systems, I highly recommend MTS Screens for their expertise, transparency, and great customer service.

Did the DIY option. Was a little apprehensive about breaking something, but turned out to be extremely easy. Way easier than I anticipated.
Hooked it up and everything worked flawlessly. Really thankful for this option versus buy a factory screen.
Thank you

Perfect

Looks factory and works even better. My model didn’t have exact instructions but was able to replace the screen myself. If u are not quite good w electronics etc, have Mtc do it for you. Took a few attempts to figure out the orientation of the ribbon cables. The glue we melted to get the old screen off was a tremendous gooey mesh, by the way. The final product looks and works far better than original at a fraction of the outrageous Malibu dealer cost.

Works Great!

My old screen had the typical glue debonding situation around the perimeter to the point that the start/stop engine button didn't always work. Replacement was fairly easy, and after resetting to factory conditions, the refurbished screen worked great.

Good screen

EDIT: increased review to 4 stars for forgetting the dimmer controls only work in night mode. It is a really good replacement screen. I also don't KNOW that my unit is any dimmer or brighter than the original since my stock backlight went out. But it feels dimmer in practice and is certainly noticably dimmer than the top screen (seen in uploaded picture post repair). Overall very happy with the successful replacement though.

ORIGINAL:
The screen works well as a replacement and is simple enough to DIY.
It doesn't appear any brighter than the original though (as advertised). In fact, if anything it seems a bit dimmer and colors are more muted. Also, the software dimmer control doesn't seem to affect the brightness at all anymore. Touch screen also doesn't seem any better than OEM as I was hoping for lighter touches working better.
Overall, it was better than replacing the entire unit, but slightly disappointing in performance. But, perhaps my unit is different or I missed something in the DIY.

Hi Colton, thanks for your order.
Independent lab testing shows 30% increase in measured brightness across the surface compared to the original control unit. Your ambient lighting conditions will greatly alter your perception of the brightness compared to your original

Regarding the touch response- it is calibrated carefully to be not so sensitive to have accidental button presses with your knee bumping on it as that could be a safety concern. There is a balance to also have it be not too difficult to press. Its pretty close to the original in those terms. Our last gen 1 unit had feedback it was too difficult so we made the improvements to your gen 2 display for more sensitivity.

The dimmer controls are adjustable in settings and to activate dim mode, you need to press the night button. Otherwise its at full brightness all the time. Dimmer controls do not affect the brightness unless you are in night mode, this is normal.

Hope this explanation helps. Your feedback is appreciated and helps us to continue to improve future revisions.

MTC-6A Ver2.1 Touch Screen LCD Screen -- Fantastic!!

I have a 2014 Malibu Wakesetter VLX where the touch screen has been delaminating for 3-4 years. It was usable until the end of last season. I'm glad I delayed the fix because I saved a ton of $$ with the MTCScreen product. I purchased the DIY version of the MTC-6A Verr2.`1. The installation took be about 45 minutes, and then I tested it in the boat as recommended. The new screen works flawlessly. Great engineering job! Thanks Charles!
