It sounds like you have a couple problems. The original cluster sounds like it has a faulty stepper motor for the speedometer needle. The second cluster sounds like the voltage driver circuit for the back lighting is bad.
As it sounds like you know how to solder as you replaced the other chip. You could rull the needle from the speedometer on the original cluster and replace the stepper motor with one that works from the other cluster. Swap the control chips back and the original cluster should work.
