HP 3ie Message #1 Posted by Marco on 22 Jan 2003, 3:31 p.m. Hi, I'm french and I have a problem with my calculator. It's a pretty old one and the battery broke all down. How could I open my calculator without breaking it ? It's a HP 3ie.

Search the museum forum for instructions.

Re: HP 3ie Message #4 Posted by Renato on 29 Jan 2003, 12:14 p.m., in response to message #3 by marco There are instructions for opening a 34c (spice series) case at: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv009.cgi?read=22660 - this works for 31E also. After opening, youŽll see what should be done, but before that, let me ask: 1. The batteries leaked ? If they did, do you still have them ? 2. Are the battery terminals ok ? Or are they damaged ? 3. Do not connect the AC adapter without the batteries, or with bad batteries. Did you do it ?
