Nothing personal, but I'm going to move this into the electronics forum where you should be able to get good info.

I've had clusters apart many times and never had a problem with them working afterwards. I can't think of anything obvious to suggest other than something must be unplugged or disconnected. Or one of the connectors is not making contact when you put it back in the car. You did re-connect the wires in the back, right? (I actually know someone who removed the speedo and re-installed it and put the dash back together completely before testing it - only to find he forgot to plug the wire harness back in) DUH!
