I reference this link to take gauses a apart.

you also need to take off the rear cover it's only holding by 2 nails.
then behind that there is 4 metal nails that holding the DIS
you need to pull that out.
since I do'nt have right solder for this, I was able to tear a part, and put back together.
display still missin some dots..

RE: tried the DIS fix
wel I stuck piece of paper ther instead of the rubber sheet. but I got the where MPG show up showing without dots missing. where indicator for the shift and above portion remain same as before. missing few dots.
so I'm gonna find the good sheet of rubber and try it.
and found that what the guy did finally again thrkugh searching.

"What happens is the lcd display glass has a thin ribbon cable on its right hand side that powers the display, the bonding/glueing on this ribbon cable comes loose, doesn't make proper contact thats why the lines come and go.
Over the top of the display is a metal cover plate held on by 4 legs bent on the back of the pc board. Straighten these, and it comes off. WORK GENTLY!!!
Then you can remove the lcd glass. Be careful, don't loose the 2 pieces of plastic behind the lcd glass. IT WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT BOTH OF THESE.
Then, either take the lcd panel to a good electronic company to re-bond the ribbon cable for you, or find a place that makes and sells lcd displays.
Don't worry about the codes either, so long as you disconnect the cluster with the ignition off, once you plug it back, everything will work fine.
I did mine myself, just added 2 extra strips of thin rubber strip behind the lcd on either side, and made the metal cover press down slightly harder on the ribbon cable so it makes better contact, and it works perfectly. All in all, an hour or so's work."

I'll do this again and take a pics of step by step. hopefully next week.
