need a hand, and some lender parts to trouble shoot this effn' problem!!

so i just did the capacitor fix Technical Articles: How to: Repair 240sx digital speedometer with HUD.) and i still don't get the speedometer or the HUD to light up at all. i did this to two different clusters i have for the car, and no dice on either of them. i think this may have been part of the problem, but not all of it, i found the other article on the burnt out tcu as well, and sure enough, it had the burnt lead, about 5 minuets(had to wait for the soldering iron to warm up)later, i had that fixed, i don't know if any components got fried but the burnt lead is fixed.

problem is, before finding that article online i went to touch up my soldering job, and probably unfixed the speedo unit after it was working :

so now i'm looking for someone with a working speedo unit and tcu that i could meet and figure out which is the problem, or if both/neither are.

oh i just bought myself the 240 as an early birthday present and to keep the wrx company, i'll post some pix in what ever new to the forums thread there is.

oh, sr20det conversion with central 20 racing spl ecu brain. digital hud and speedo. thanks all!!!!(i posted at zilvia and not a single peep from anyone, i hope i get some answers here, is there any way to bench test the speedo?)

Man, i fixed my HUD about 3 months ago, (was the capacitor) and it worked perfect. Then it started coming on then going off. I pulled it out the other day, re-solderd in a new capacitor and it wont work at all now. As far as im concerned they're just junk. Im switching to analog(if i can ever find one). If you really want the HUD I would suggest just taking it to a small electronics store and get them to go over the whole cluster and fix what they need to.
