Default Gauge cluster lights, needles, etc suddenly all went out at the same time

I drove my 2JZ-GTE swapped SC to work the other day, and all my instrument cluster gauges and lights were working (except for the burnt out needle lights). I got back into the car a few minutes later and suddenly nothing on the cluster worked except for the fuel gauge. No lights, no reading from the tach, speedo, or temp gauges. I have no idea what happened. Can anyone give me some advice as to where to start troubleshooting? Could it be a fuse or something to that effect that blew? I pulled out my cluster this morning but can't see anything obvious with the board or anything. No burns, etc.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

Dimmer switch has nothing to do with whether the temp gauge, speedometer, or tachometer show any readings. Come on man.
