Opening and trying to fix a leaked HP 48S

[mfleming]

Console yourself with the knowledge that you've gained valuable experience in doing this sort of repair. Most people, including myself, generally mess up a case opening on the first try and end up with a calculator that just doesn't fit back together right. At least you won't experience that disappointment

Now and then 48s(x) calculators sold as "for parts or not working" show up at very low prices, often less than $20 USD. They just need to be opened and have their keyboard pad replaced to be useful again.

Good luck with the next repair!
