If (more likely when) this happens to my cluster, my first choice would be to buy a replacement LCD like the one in this link. There may be other products available that are less expensive or better. I posted a link to the first one I found.

I've done some work on my cluster before, and I was surprised that a DIY effort was possible. You can see how to take the gauge cluster apart in this thread: https://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/43017-carrera-gauge-swap.html

Good luck.
