Re: Ideas on fixing my 17BII that had one drink too many Message #3 Posted by bill platt on 17 Jan 2007, 10:51 a.m., in response to message #1 by John Hinz
Randy has posted some great stuff on this in the past. The essentials area s follows:
1. Never turn on a mchine htat has a liquid short.
2. Immediately remove the batteries.
3. With batteries out, thoroughly wash the calculator--soak it through and through-- with clean water with low mineral content. A 20 minute flushing is good if you can manage it.
4. Air-dry the calculator for a minimum of 3 days--a week is better, in warm dry air.
5. Reinsert batteries and fire up!
Wine, coke, etc will act as conductive electolyte.
