Re: HP-35 & 32S Calculators Message #5 Posted by Jeff O. on 4 Oct 2005, 12:48 p.m., in response to message #1 by Tom Ciborowski
Regarding the HP-35 battery charger, the "short in the "elbow"" problem is common. It is (at least sometimes) possible to repair this problem by carefully slicing the top of the plug off, exposing the contacts, cutting the wires back past the short, soldering the wires to the contacts and gluing the top back on. It may not look pretty, but it should do the job.
Regarding your 32S, as Bill stated, your course of action depends on the exact problem. In case it may help, instructions on opening and some repairs to this style of calculator (pioneer) can be found here and here. If you search the Forum Archives for postings by Paul Brogger (author of the linked articles), I believe you will also find reports of successful disassembly and repair of the keyboard itself.
Good luck!
