Instrument Panel Needles

So I bought a 2000 Maxima yesterday, and I noticed that all the needles went all the way around and got stuck that way, today they're back to normal, I want to know if anyone else has had this issue, and how they fixed it. I did a search but nothing came up.

Mine goes back to normal. Today the needles just froze. After I parked the car for a few hours it was back to normal. I've also noticed that the LCD that shows the mileage messes up when the needles freeze. But again in a few hours it goes back to normal.

Loose connection or bad/jumping spidering point on board perhaps?
