Bought an Audi A4 with broken cluster center LCD, my thoughts was just to replace this since its a common problem. After tearing the cluster apart I notice the display does not work because of an failed repair. Three LCD connecting pads on the board is damaged. One pad is completely burned away. The other two damaged pads are on their way to fall off.
Here are two pictures of the damaged pads

As picture show, the pad that is gone does not seem to have any connecting circuit. Is it possible that it is not used?
I'm wondering if you think it will work to just solder a new LCD to the pads?
