5 Instrument Panel problem of the 2000 Audi A6

Failure Date: 07/02/2007

The center instument cluster has been in and out for as long as I have owned the car. Some days, when the planets align correctly, the display will be mostly visible. On most days, however, most pixels are not visible, some are faded, and certain critical warnings cannot be seen. . . You can hear the beeping, but have no clue what is failing! if this were a plug and play part I would have replaced it by now. . . But the whole thought of having to solder the lcd in discourages a fix. This is an inherent issue with the c5 line. . . Cannot believe Audi has never recalled for this issue! clearly this is a problem.
