They offer to pay 50% in my case. It would be $600 out of pocket for the cluster replaced. Forget it! I spent less than $50 and 3 hrs of my weekend time.
Alex, you don't need to replace the LCD. It's the ribbon and broken-contact that cause the missing pixel. I have instructions with pictures that I can send to you if you'd like.
Sorry, haven't got my coffe yet.
Yep for $750 I'll do it myself as well, at least I'll try.

BMWNA was nicer back then, I guess 5-yr ago my car only been out of waranty for a year.
