The better way to kill the glare was to (after disassembly) paint the silver area with Rust-Oleum "Painter's-Touch" 2X Ultra cover in either flat black or satin, depending on your preference. This "voids the warranty and blah, blah," but the visibility is far superior. I can post photos if anyone wants to see the result. For a small view, look at my avatar. Here are the risks if you have little experience in taking electronics apart: a dead calculator. You now have $100 worth of experience, go buy another Prime and don't make the same mistake. Tear it down so all the keys are removed. Here are the risks if you don't know how to spray paint: other than the stuff on the can (don't inhale, spray on flame, etc) you will probably spray too much on the first coat. This is a trap for young players in a hurry. Clean the metal with 99.99% (not 70% 'rubbing alcohol') isopropyl alcohol first, then practice spraying some throw-away item like a water bottle or some cardboard. Use blue masking tape to cover everything you don't want paint on. Just enough spray to cover lightly and then let it dry. Outside in the sun or in a warm, well-ventilated place. Go for three light coats. Then let it dry overnight before putting it back together. Link to the teardown: http://www.view-finder.us/Other/HP-Prime.../i-jdJ2GfP |
