Default 997TT LCD repair

So I am looking at buying a 997TT that has an issue with the LCD display. Its quite pronounced and looks exactly like the pictures floating around on the internet. Looks like yellow zig zags on the display. Does anyone know of a repair service whom is in the US? This will be my first porsche and I am still learning a lot, I'm not sure I want to attempt a DIY and then botch things.

I considered these guys when I had the same issue with mine.. Was going to use them until I determined my fidelity warranty would cover R&R.

I spoke to to the Hollywood guys on the phone and they quoted me a repair of something under $200 as I recall. I have used them before on an old Saab speedo that I needed repaired..

Have a picture? Knew this from the 996 turbo, but not the 997.

I'll take a pic in the morning as I'm leaving for work.

^ Yep, classic failure. You can search my threads for a similar picture.

I'd look into Hollywood speedometer as stated above.
