Check the fuse would be where I would start.  You might get lucky and that is all that's wrong.  Sometimes you can see a problem with a circuit board, sometimes you can't.  I had a bad one effecting my gas gauge when the lights were on.  $35 later at the local pick n pull I landed a new one with a quartz clock in it.  I put all my gauges back into the truck because I knew how they read..

If you want to check the circuit board, pull the cluster out and turn it over.  If it is broken or burnt, it will be obvious.
