Think positive, Adam, and don't worry too much...you 'll succeed to restore your calculator.. hold it upside down and try gently to remove the electrolite as much as possible; do it with a old paint brush ...(cut it on the top to make it shorter) Then try with a wooden toothpick to discover the space between the battery pack and the plastic case, use it also to complete the work you have started with the brush. using the toothpick try gently a leverage to check if the battery pack is still "attached" to the body or it moves, if moving the pack will drop on your table (cover it with old newspapers before to star the procedure, you will throw away with it all the dust). I should avoid in this first step to use water (Maximilian will excuse me) for cleaning.. after completing the cleaning of the battery compartment we can check now the healt of the battery contacts on the machine (if they still exist, who knows) then you can try to open the calculator and the big mistery will be revealed (as Crazy Horse said to W.B. Hickok ) |
