Greetings,
I have just acquired an HP-41cx and it won't power up after the long trip from California to Florida in a UPS truck. The unit did work fine about a week ago.
I've tried all of the tricks listed in the Forum Archive short of taking the device apart and will try them again.

As to taking it apart and cleaning the flex circuits that doesn't look difficult but I am concerned about removing screws in 40 year old plastic. The '41cx is in pristine condition and I would really hate to crack the case removing screws.
Is there anything I'm missing? Any advice is appreciated.
Cheers
