I was looking at a 49G+ earlier this year as I never had a graphing calc and the book I was reading suggested to use one. So I was looking at some on theBay and saw a really low priced one with some keys that looked like they were askew or floating. So I hit the web and did see a number of threads which described the key tab breaking. One of the threads had the user using an aluminum tape that was claimed to have worked really well.

Thanks for the link, I saw this video. It reminds me the opening of my HP28s... drilling, cutting, soldering... With the fear of breaking it down and ask the parents for another calculator... you know, the most expensive of the shop... because I just wanted to open it!

I understand and am quite sure a lot of members here have done the same.

The mention of the 4 battery 48gII had my fingers googling it yesterday. Its honestly not a bad calc if the keyboard is good. Prices should be low as it doesn't seem to be on "the list".
