Default B5 Speedo messed up?

For some weir reason the LCD screen on my speedometer got messed up. It became really unclear, many pixels all over the place stopped working, making it hard to read what it says on it. IS there a way to fix this without replacing the screen/ getting a new speedo?

I must have looked at half a dozen B5's when I bought mine, and they all had the same issue (including the one I bought). I'm not too concerned...all it does is show outside temperature (open the window), fuel mileage (check when you fill up), whether a door is open (listen for a whistling sound), or if you're low on washer fluid (use washer, if the windshield stays dry, you're low on fluid).
