[QUOTE="JorgeS, post: 29613, member: 12094"] I would try the repair myself before sending it. The repair is VERY easy, and takes little time (probably less than you'll spend boxing it and shipping it). If you have any experience at all with a soldering iron, you can do this. Mine had the issue, and the repair procedure solved it. The issue is that [edit] the solder on [end edit] several SMD (surface mounted device) resistors in the cluster crack, making the display dim. You simply open up the cluster, ant touch the soldering iron to the ends of these SMD resistors. The solder reflows, and the crack disappears. If you want a little added margin, you add a very small amount of solder to the joints. Here's a short concise video showing the repair: [MEDIA=youtube]6F07hrwcOI4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
