opening an HP-71B Message #1 Posted by Hugo on 26 June 2006, 10:36 a.m. Hi all, i recently had the luck to buy an HP-71B "nonworking" but only one battery contact is gone (it works well with an AC adaptor!). i would like to repair it but how do i best open it? I found a lot of screws but these seem to be of a very small hexagonal size... does anyone know which kind of tool is needed? or any other hints? thank you in advance

The screws are TX6s : You'll need a Torx 6 screwdriver or a small Allen. Cheers from France. Etienne Edited: 26 June 2006, 10:56 a.m.
