HP 32E requires case pressure to fully light up

Amazing - this worked!!!

I couldn't identify solder vs solderless at a glance and didn't know which bits were and weren't soldered as I hadn't taken anything else apart.

I was able to push the display down towards the board and felt it getting tighter then put it all back together and the display is working reliably now.

Do you find this needs doing regularly and if so, how often (hopefully not weekly/monthy)?

I've also identified a hairline crack in the front case hook so intend to superglue it and put it back together although I don't know if this will work with the amount of force required to open the case if I need to open it again to adjust the display.

Thank you so much for your advice :-)
