      It needs ribbon cable and drilling to expose the screws. Where are u located. I am in Sharjah. (emerend@hotmail.com)
      You mentioned you changed the cluster. The temper 'Red Dot' visible? If yes then the new cluster needs to be coded. See image for temper dotuntitled.png

        Hi emeren.. I am in Al Ain, and Yes, the temper dot is visible. I guess the guy who changed it just put it in without any coding. Can you help me with the ribbon cable change? i still have my original cluster with me. Thanks

          I would do it but honestly I don't have the time. However I know someone who can do it for you but in Sharjah. He will charge to fix:

          1. the mileage didn't follow the original cluster - The tamper dot will be visible on cluster and mileage is not the same. The mileage is stored in 3 location (LCM and ECU and Cluster). All need to match. Since you changed cluster the original mileage from LCM must be read and recorded into the Cluster memory. This will fix the problem. (approx. 10mins job if using the right tools)

          2. Missing pixel - faulty ribbon cable. this required opening and drilling into the board to get to the ribbon cable. Has to be done very carefully and new ribbon cable carefully soldered back to the original position. Takes time and steady hands. approx. 2-3hrs job. Very high chances of screwing up the cluster board it you don't do it right. Personally I was shitting bricks when I attempted this on mine but lucky for me I didn't mess up.

                    There are lots of companies overseas who can repair this issue- common issue as said

                    But it depends if you can live without the cluster while
                    It is sent away!

                      It's hard for me to live without the cluster, I'm thinking of a DIY but afraid of breaking the cluster.
