Woodstock battery holder

[teenix]

Hi all,

I seem to remember replacements being available online. Anyone know where?

I received a dead HP25, but after some circuit board scrubbing and a good drying it came to life again. The keyboard is not 100% so will need a clean up at some stage. I'll try painting on some solder through circuit board lacquer to preserve what remains of the eroded tracks. HP covered the bottom of the board with a protective film, I wonder why the top missed out.

I also got a dead HP45, but it appears to work ok except for (I suspect) a dirty keyboard and some of the LED segments have partially failed as only parts of those segments light. Those lit parts of the segment are brighter than normal so maybe the rest of the segment structure has shorted probably due to chemical degradation over time.

cheers

Tony
