Great to know!
I'm excellent with fiddly electronics, so I will likely tackle this myself. It must be due to failure of the cable, or corrosion of the contacts?
I'll look up "PixelFix" and similar. Thanks.
Searching "BMW E53 MID pixel ribbon" and similar got me good results, including this video.

Now I just have to get up the motivation to pull the gauge cluster?
