Odometer issue: Not showing full mileage/trip meter?

Odometer issue: Not showing full mileage/trip meter?
My odometer has recently started glitching out by only showing certain areas.
As you can see the (A,B,C) trip meters are missing, the last digit is slightly cut off and the first digit is slightly cut off. The correct mileage is actually 92,283.
Every once in awhile the full face will work for a brief period of time showing the correct mileage and the trip meters or a mixture of the two, this is random and I cannot replicate it.
Any ideas of how to fix this?

Board is going. Find a speedometer repair shop! Had the same thing happen to mine! When I was quoted $300 to fix it, I found a guy on here (gauge craft.com) and had him redo the back-lights and faces. You order what you want, he ships, and you send him yours. Problem solved!

How cold was it in the car when this happened? LCDs can get screwy if it's cold enough. Otherwise, it could be a corroded connector to the display or the circuit's fried, in which case, you'll need to get it fixed before you sell the car or you'll have to file all sorts of paperwork that'll lower the value of the vehicle.
Also, sometimes displays go crazy if your voltages are low. Check the battery with a battery tester (i.e., carbon pile load tester) to see if it's still good.

LOL. I just noticed this originally got posted in June 2012. I doubt it was cold. Even in Colorado.

I had the same thing happen on an automotive scope and it turned out to be the solder weld on a ground connector had disconnected, even though it looked fine. I used high power magnifier to find the bad connection; it took freaking forever.

You could have a broken solder weld on the connector. Remove the board from the car and turn it upside-down and carefully melt each connector weld so that the pins re-seat solidly. Check for any cracks in the board and any blackened circuits that may have been cooked.
