My crazy HP 15c repair

[BillBee]

Congrats!! I have an 11c that needs that procedure for a display swap but those heat stakes are all intact. Once in awhile I will pop the back off shake my head and screw it back together. I operated on a broken 12c and it was a learning experience.

Foam will probably not give the support you need and the holding capacity of the 4 case screws is questionable. The idea of a small drop of glue is not that bad an idea. The more experienced guys can probably recommend a type (gel, epoxy, etc..).

The shorter spring will be on the right hand side middle (looking at the calc upside down).

There is a great feeling when the batteries are popped in and a full display occurs.
