Default Jump Started my LS400 and now my gauges don't work at all

So my car was sitting for about a month or so and the battery died. I used a charger/battery jumper to start the car and now my gauges wont work at all. The needles don't move and the back lighting doesn't light up at all. I looked at the ECU-EG1 fuse and the gauge fuse and they all looked good. Am I missing something here or did I just fry the cluster some how? Please help me out as I really need my car operable for work.

Thanks guys

Change the fuse out even if it looks good and that applies to some of the other basic fuses. Aside from the dash, have you noticed any other non working electronics?

Just reset the car by removing the negative battery cable and reinstalling it. Worked like a champ. Found it in a random google search.
