HP48G - Popping rivets to open Message #1 Posted by Caribe T on 31 Oct 2005, 4:36 p.m. Hi there, Does anyone have any detailed information about opening the 48g by popping the rivets? 'H.D.'(?) made mention in a forum (back in Semptember) that he/she did it and that they were going to post some information for anyone interested.....not sure if they did or not. Apparently be opening it this way, there is no to very minimal damage done to the calculator. Thanks, Caribe Edited: 31 Oct 2005, 5:39 p.m.

Re: HP48G - Popping rivets to open Message #4 Posted by H.D. on 7 Nov 2005, 11:10 p.m., in response to message #3 by Caribe T The rivets aren't broken per se. You are simply prying them apart. And yes, I've opened several of mine this way. I forgot to leave my email in the last post, but this one contains my email should you have further difficulties opening it.
