Need a trip computer

In my bonehead move to try and dissassemble my trip computer today to replace the backlights, I cracked the LCD. I was almost there too, I had all the solder cleaned out of the LCD connections and was prying it off.

So, I need the lowdown on a new, used computer. Any help?

I would be interested as well. Mine does nothing but display "162 mi" and will not change no matter what button I press.

ETA: I FIXED IT!!!

With the kind suggestion of someone in another thread, I was under the hood today replacing a lo-beam bulb and decided to try pulling and replacing the fuse to the trip computer, convenience group, etc. Well, guess what? Next time I fired it up and it worked!! As an added bonus, now the proper lights flash when I remotely lock it. That hasn't worked either since I took possession on Nov 6th. Now if I could just track down this annoying clear fluid leak from the drivers side front...........
