Repairing the digital hud display 1989-91 240sx

Hey guy's I'm tired of getting ripped off $169.00 for simple fix it stuff to the speedo that cost you $10 dollars of your time. Mr.Wizard claims for $169.00+shipping he will fix the digi speedo, HA what a fricken joke to replace a$3.00 capacitor, Gee the guy that owns that company defenitley plays people for there ignorance.
So anyway's if you are tired of getting ripped off here is how to fix the speedo, I found this on another forum so I can't take the credit. Enjoy!

Hear you go, but as long as I've done capacitor and resistor work all you need is a tester from any Digi-Key catalog. If you decide to do it yourself go to www.digikey.com they have all the testers and replacement parts.
