FYI for all:

Ebay member "bavarianaudio" who has been repairing MID clusters for a while now has recently in the last few months offered the cluster repair service. He is located in Rahway/Linden, NJ so very local to NYC/NJ people, and his prices are very fair at 150 for the repair service with lifetime warranty.

I will be taking my cluster personally to him in the next few weeks and will update my impressions, I just thought I'd give him a shout out on the forums since I neglected to fix my cluster on the notion that I didnt want to ship to CA or someplace i'd have to wait on the turnaround, local was a better option for me.
