To TMV & RB...thanks for the verification. It's good to support a forum member...as well as having many verifiable testimonies to the quality of work as well as competitive cost.

You'll have it back in 2 days based on how close he is.

He will also let you know if the LCD itself is bad or just the ribbon. It's delicate work once the cluster is open so I don't mind the $120, I don't have steady enough hands.

Hi Ricky, do you know if George is still doing the gauge pixel repair for E53? I checked the ebay link you provided but it looks like he's not on ebay anymore.

Ummm...you may want to try others that are doing it now. The last group repair didn't end well for some (I wasnt' one of them...my cluster was repaired and returned in a timely matter...others...well )

Since this is an older thread and things can change over the years. If you're not hearing anything from the person recommended a few years ago...then move on to the current pixel repair people.

It should be difficult because its discussed all the time. There's a BMW owner/forum member that has a Facebook contact I believe titled "fixels" (a mash-up of "pixels" and "fix"). If you type "bmw fixels" into a google search box and see a result for a facebook contact for fixels...then you've found your man (or at least one person that does this type of work).
