My odometer screen needs replacement, the number portion of the display is "krinkled" up. Is there a way to replace it?
 
I'm posting pix of my problem. One shows what the odometer looks like at night and one shows what it looks like during the day.

How do I fix this LCD screen?

I need to know where the odometer mileage number is stored? Is it in the gauge cluster?

see this thread for why I am asking the question Display Crazing


I would like to know if I replace the gauge cluster will I still have my mileage?

Its an eeprom in the cluster. Should be a 93c56. Easy to swap.
 
Most likely surface soldered?

Any ideas if I can repair that LCD instead?
No, I am pretty sure that one is a DIP package. I would think it is easier to replace the eeprom than the LCD

So I could buy another gauge set and pluck the old chip out of my gauges and pop into the new gauges? You sure that's it? I know where there's a set of gauges at.

Yes. Somewhere out in the online world is a thread by a guy that goes by the name "speedkar99" where he shows how to change the mileage on the eeprom. Instead of reprogramming your eeprom just swap your old one into the new cluster.

I looked him up, thanx! He was even doing a Toyota. Looks like it will work. I have a solder sucker and a pretty nice solder station. If my eeprom looks like his, it should be doable even by me! Thanks for the pointer!
