Post compass and thermometer not working

my compass and thermometer stopped working recently and i have no clue what is wrong with it. i was reading other posts and they said that the circuit board most likely has a loose chip. i looked at it and i found nothing loose or missing. any ideas????

it's really hard to see and sometimes you cant. you can try to re-heat the connections but if no luck you will probabl need a new one or a used one from the wrekers

I also have a compass /temp light problem. Has anyone had the display work intermitently? lately, when I start my truck the compass/templight won't come on automatically. I have to toggle the switch. If I do it enough times it will usually start to work. only to not work again at startup. Anny suggestions?
