RE: My crazy HP 15c repair
Hi guys
good, I found where the springs belong and put them back. Also for the heat stakes, I tried another idea:
I kept those little "mushroom" heads that broke off from the top of those heat stakes. After I had reinstalled the PCB, I melted those little plastic bits and put them back where they were before. See the attached picture where I have reinstalled a couple of them. After I had most of the heat stakes back in place, I tested the keys, and ALL OF THEM work fine now!
Put the calculator back together and now everything is fixed: the keys are not loose, they don't rattle, the display is clear and crisp again and the calculator looks almost like new!

The only remaining problem now is the missing hp Logo. Any ideas where I could get a HP 15c Logo for my machine? I am thinking about milling my own. I have a little CNC mill and could perhaps make one of these hp logos from aluminium. However if someone has a better idea or could even sell me a "used" logo from a broken machine that would perhaps be better.

Also for the heat stakes; I am pretty happy how tight the keyboard is now, but I am afraid that it won't last forever. Anyone has a better idea how it could be put together in a more professional way? :-)
