38G Message #1 Posted by Frank Eichel on 24 Oct 2004, 4:54 p.m. Does anyone know how to disassemble a 38G? Mine is dead and I am wondering if it is something that can be easily fixed. Any suggestions?

Re: 38G Message #2 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 24 Oct 2004, 5:39 p.m., in response to message #1 by Frank Eichel Please take a look at www.hpcalc.org, where the 38G is covered in detail. My suggestion would be to just buy another unit, because 38Gs are cheap (even on eBay). Raymond

Re: 38G Message #4 Posted by Frank Eichel on 25 Oct 2004, 2:56 p.m., in response to message #3 by Jordi Hidalgo Thank you, that might do it. I since discovered I can turn on the unit by pressing (really hard) the ENTER and ON keys simultaneously but I have to use a hard reset to turn it off. The lower half of the keyboard does not respond but the upper does. So, I suspect there is a seating problem between the keyboard and the PCB. I'll try to get it apart when I have more time on my hands.
