I went by my dealer today to finally get a new clock. Luckily they didn't have one!
After the kids went to bed, I did a quick search on google for subaru clock and found this forum.
Our display had the burned out spot, too but the soldering instructions worked like a charm. My husband did the job in 5 minutes!
I don't wear a watch and have been lost without my clock. I am so excited to have it working again - for free! Thank you so much for the excellent instructions.
