HP71B front module too tight to easily extract - husmus - 09-05-2024 08:17 PM

I don't want to break it but how do I extract a front module that is super tight? Thanks.

A piece of wooden dowel worked for me. Hooked under the lip of the module it helps you get purchase on the module to pull it out. Screwdrivers and other metal tools risk damaging you, the module or the 71.

Thanks, Mark. That did the trick.
