Default 87.5 Digital dash repair?

I found that the reason for my intermittant working digital dash were the 3 connectors on each of the displays. I was able to fix 2 but the third one (center) has lost some of the metal on which the connector goes(the metal lines on the glass)
Anybody any idea were and how I can fix these, there must be an electronic shop or specialty store that can fix it.

thanks for any help

Default My digital dash quit working as well...

Looking for suggesstions. Car sat for a few weeks, no display when I started up. Idiot lights work, and I have 12 volts on all pins that say they should in manual. Do you have a better description of what I'm looking for with the connectors? Do they just slide off the circuit boards? Any other ideas, as I had no intermittent problems, just instant nothing. No power going to the bulbs, and I get nothing when shining flashlight through dash.

My problem is de 3 connectors on top and bottom of the digital displays. If you take em of often uou scrape off the metal on the glass circuit board. I fixed two of mine by rplacing the connector a bit to the left or right and then superglue. (worked for 2, the 3rd one I am repairing with rear windshield heater line repair kit, because some of the metal is gone)
