working on The Instrument cluster

[BBruins12]

Hey all,

As most of my other questions this is a total noob question. I know a guy who was a mechanic something like twenty years ago, and he told me NEVER lay the instrument cluster flat, it will screw up the gauges.

I have to attempt to replace the bulb in the Odometer, or the entire odometer and just don't want to screw everything up.

I can see that being true twenty years ago, but not today...

If I remember right, the odo uses built in led lighting...

Right, which means that I have to replace the actual LCD unit, but I just want to make sure I'm not going to botch everything by laying it flat.
