Default Weird Infotainment Screen

I was doing some cleaning of the XK last weekend and when I swiped the infotainment screen it popped into a world of Chinese scripts and other unusual stuff.

I had to disconnect the battery to get the system back. However, my wife says the touch screen is not as responsive and it takes some pressure to activate a button.

Anyone know what these screens were and if there is a way to recalibate the touch screen?

Also, use Google Lens set to Translate and all that jumble will be readable.

I will also state that the cable is putting pressure on the screen somehow. The screen is sensitive to pressure and Ive experienced this when ai used a magnetic phone holder mount that uses the CD slot. Too much pressure and it goes haywire

I have not noticed a problem like Mrs. P described. She didn't have a problem with changing channels etc yesterday

I don't think there's pressure from the cable. I have it routed away from the head unit behind the fascia.

Thanks guys

Do not start the car. Just open the door (after the car has been off a while) and the leaper appears on the screen. This is when you tap it. And tap the cat's head.

I got to it this morning. Touched the points as reported by Panthera999 and the screen rebooted.

But....the leaper screen came up but I was not able to get to the main touchscreen. The leaper stayed on even with the ignition off.

I had to disconnect the battery to get it back but all appears good now.
