Cluster Display Problem

Hey Guys

So today has been a bad day so far. I had my 911 in storage for winter. Haven't started it in about 5 or 6 weeks as it's been pretty cold up here. Today it's nice and went to start it and noticed the display where the kms/hr are is broken I guess. Still shows the kms/hr. Looks like someone hit it but noone actually did. Spiderwebbing I guess would be best way to describe it. Does anyone know if/how this can be repaired??

I'm ready for bad news.... <_<

Looks like the LCD is shot.

There are a few speedometer shops that can replace that section or you could buy a used cluster and have it programmed to your car (needs to be a year for year option for option match) ... or you can buy a new cluster and have ti programmed to your car.

Thanks Loren......thats what I was afraid of. I saw some posts while searching about the climate control 'bleeding' fix. Would this be the same process just more complicated?

Pretty much a similar process. If you are good with a soldering iron and can find a used cluster (correct model) that would be the least expensive fix. Of course the used one could do that too...

I had a cluster that"spydered" over the time area last winter and as summer came the spot whent away. Now I have a spyder over the 1st number of the odometer. Do they "fix" themselves?
