Did you ever get a solution to this problem?  My truck has started doing the same thing.  It is intermittent now, goes on and off.  I checked the info 15A fuse, good.  It seems like the info center is loosing input power.  Is there any common place for a wire break in this circuit?

yea at the four corners of the pc board on the pc board, in other words, the readout portion is a pc board in itself soldered to the biger pc board which is the rest of your cluster.  Re solder your four corners and you got a 90% chance of being good to go.

My odometer and trans selector light was getting dim and finally went out.  I found a tech on E-bay selling his services to re-lamp and do the gauge calibration with new stepper motors for around $179.00.  Unit works great and he guarantees it for life.  Or I just saw on Summitt racing has a rebuilt cluster they will sell you for $160.00.  You do have to send them your old unit.  I choose to keep mine because I wanted mine back.  Hope this helps.

I got into the instrument panel today. I'm not really sure what to look for as a problem area, but am a little concerned about the burnt looking areas at the lower right of both displays, which may be originally manufactured that way. I checked the entire board and wiring connector for any sign of a loose connection. The only thing that appeared to be loose was a resistor, at Q16, that is in between the displays. I added some solder to it to firm up the connection, but it did not fix the problem. With a slight tap on the lower dash panel the display lit up again for another five minutes and then went out. I got a quote from the local Chevy dealer at $350 for a reman instrument panel. I think I'm going to take the lower dash apart to see if there are any loose wires.

Check for TSB's and recall notices for your VIN.  May be able to have it replaced at no cost.

I have same problem on my 07 Avalanche Lt both the display screens quit displaying. Speedometer & everything else still works fine.
I'm guessing something inside went out? I hoped was fuse or loose wire
