HP15C reset loose heat stakes

[Johnboy]

I have reworked heat stakes on many HP41 calculators, but yet to try it on a 10 series, but I can't imagine it would be that much different. Like Dave, I too use hot glue gun. A little tip I found useful, is apply the glue then squish it with your finger, but first lick your finger so you don't burn yourself !

Also, to "release" the heat stakes, I lift gently around the side with a fine screw driver or blade, like a scalpel, the plastic removed is doughnut shaped. That preserves the length of the heat stake, i.e. by doing this you're not slicing the top of off the heat stake - make sense ?

Cheers,
John
