HP-48SX (attempted) repair by Ben Heck

[Eric Rechlin]

I'm pretty sure he accidentally downloaded the instructions that explained how *not* to open an HP 48 instead of how to open one.

I was under the impression the best way to do it was to use a heat gun to soften the adhesive behind the faceplate, then carefully peel that back, and then drill out the rivets from above.

Still, it was interesting to see his impressions of just how advanced the 48SX was for its time. The 48G series just doesn't look as cool inside, though it does look much more modern.
