HP 35 - Working with AC Charger but not Battery Pack

[John Garza (3665)]

Corrosion in the charger port is more likely than a missing/damaged clip. Try scrubbing with deoxit in situ with a trimmed down qtip to fit. The metal flaps must have good contact with the end posts (left and right - not center). If this doesn't work, try a short piece of wire in the holes on the top of the two end posts. If it works then corrosion/poor connection with the flap/posts is the problem. You can either keep the wire in place, if you like the 'Macgyverd look', or disassemble, sand the corroded flaps, and cover with conductive paint. Deoxit is usually sufficient for the posts. For some reason, the flaps on the clip seem to go first.
