    I vote for the cable.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    For the record, my NB has been doing this off & on for the last 1.5 years... Ignoring it has worked fabulously

    That all depends on whether you break the instrument clster hood or not.

    The internal cable part is around $5.00 if you don;t have a bad outer cover.

    Look under the "Help" section in the auto parts store

    mine was doing that, it turned out to be the guage cluster, if someone has an extra one id try that first, cause its cheap and easy.
