Sounds like its not fully home - try removing it (howto on here) give plugs/connectors a squirt of contact cleaner, and refit and reseat  :y

Reseat dash - press back firmly on rev counter.

MID - old style (yellow and black plugs) tend to loose lines of pixels. Fitting new style (grey plug) isn't quite plug and play.  Either type needs to have right config for your car.
