Default Dashboard Display went out? Help?

Hey guys, so the dashboard display on the a6 I am looking at is dead. What am I looking at to get that replaced?

It is probably turned off. There is a switch on the wiper stalk. It is probably off because the display is crappy. Check out module master or bba reman.

Sorry I wasnt clear. The LCD is missing pixels, I should have been more specific. I saw the DIY on here, but was wondering if anyone on here from the Raleigh/Durham/Wakeforest area wanted to help me do it? I would gladly pay you for your troubles....

Module master is a bargain at $120. I'd do that.

Default a6 cluster

not a good idea if your car is made after 2000 the emobelizer wont match and the car wont start,there are also issues with other electronics also air bag, radio. best fix is to have your message center lcd display replaced,dna speedometer $230.00 the is also a shop on ebay for around $300.00.google audi instrument cluster repair and you will find most of the shops that can replace your message center
