Re: Spices--Were they a hot spicy repair number? Message #5 Posted by Luiz C. Vieira (Brazil) on 4 Apr 2012, 8:28 p.m., in response to message #3 by Matt Agajanian
HI.
The non-working units simply stopped working. Chances are this is related to 'db's pointed-out many reasons (Hi, d.b.!). If it is a solderless unit, I have once suggested slightly bending the IC's terminals down, as shown in this drawing.
After bending it slightly and reassembling the calculator, chances are it will get back to normal operation. I have done this many times, and in most cases they worked better. In others, though...
But then again, who knows...
Success!
