[WP-34S] Unfortunate key damage with update to V3 :( Message #1 Posted by svisvanatha on 8 Dec 2013, 8:35 p.m. Hi all, Unfortunately, I damaged one of the number keys on my WP-34S while removing the V2 overlay in preparation for an update to V3. I got careless and allowed the key label to pull the key away from the keyboard ubruptly while removing it, resulting in that key losing its 'click'. So a word of warning for anyone removing labels from WP-34S keys, do so carefully so that the key is not pulled away from the keyboard in that fashion.

You spurred me to order a spare 30B and two overlays, just in case. Best, --- Les [http://www.lesbell.com.au]

Prices are low compared to when I first purchased one. Less than $30 CAD new at a local computer store with free in-store pickup. Hopefully the keyboard is not faulty!

It makes the WP-34S even more attractive. If I'm careful, I should wind up with two of them. Best, --- Les [http://www.lesbell.com.au]

No kidding. That 30b I ordered just arrived - but also in the box was a bonus Smartcalc 300S (I won't say what I think, but I gave it away promptly), QuickCalc, and a 39G+ premium pouch. I'd say the dealers are quitting a pileup of stuff they can't move any other way. ;) Best, --- Les [http://www.lesbell.com.au]
