Backing light for clock gone

Question

The backing light to the clock of my Nissan Pulsar ST1.8 has gone. I've checked the fuses and they all seem fine. How should I go about fixing it?

Here are some pictures:

With no flash you can't see the clock in the bottom rhs

With the flash you can clearly see the clock isn't illuminated

Consider calling the local Nissan parts department, and see if this is even possible. I know some manufacturers don't support changing bulbs inside of the dash, but I could be wrong as far as nissan is concerned. If you do decide to go forth, and find a bulb, ensure to remove the battery cable before pulling the dash. Most cars have buses that run thorugh the dash, and you would hate to trigger a fault.

Usually those LCD screens are lit on the edge by LEDs, so most likely you would have to do some soldering to fix it. – M. Cooper May 24 '12 at 02:46

I doubt the backlighting is serviceable separately. I would search for rebuild kits, I have found several on eBay with the components and instructions on how to repair it. You can also goggle instrument panel repair service and find other options
