Repair service for HP 48GX?

[mfleming]

There is a U.S. seller on eBay who does LCD replacement for 48's using better contrast displays from cheaper donor calculators. I and other members can attest to the quality of the work, and I can send you his seller id by private message if interested (seller advertisement posts are generally discouraged on the forums).

The cost, particularly with the higher International tracked shipping, might put you in the range of buying a used replacement from the various auction sites. Have you considered getting a replacement instead of repairing? The price of a 48G or 48G+ is not quite as bad as a GX, but you can find a bargain on a 48GX if you are patient enough.

Repairing the calculator itself is quite an adventure since it is not really meant to be opened, but once opened the LCD is not too hard to replace. There was a recent thread on suitable donor calculators, and instructions for repair can be found in the articles forum and elsewhere on the web. You might want to practice on a dead 48S/SX first though
