it's good to know I can replace the LCD without any soldering, thank you so much for that information.

I have removed the heat stakes on full nut CV/CX machines previously, and had good success using hot glue on each stake when reassembling. I am careful when dissassembling to only remove the surround of each heat stake, making a donut shaped piece of plastic being removed. That way I keep all of the heat stake "post", for the glue to bind to.

The drill and screw idea is interesting, I have never thought of that ! Do you have a photo of the M1 x 2.5 screws ? I'd like to see how big the screw head is.

Also, do you have a good method for removing a 41 calculator plastic display window ?

Thanks
John

It would be interesting, and help to future folks undertaking similar repairs, your technique of cutting the heat stakes as you describe - accomplishing that is the key to simpler reassembly so a "how-to" would be appreciated.
