How did you fix the pca back in place after having the heat stakes undone?

A hot glue gun is usually my go-to heat stake tool. Put enough pressure on the board to hold it in place, and put a little cap of glue on the stake. Hold the board in place until the glue has set up enough to hold (doesn't take long). Everything fits snugly enough in the 30b that you don't have to be completely perfect to get good results.

I've used the same approach in repairing the keyboard on a 32S, which was far more arduous than doing the 30b.

Let me also say thanks for sharing. I have several non-operational HPs that I would like to fix (48 and 49 series), but I haven't had the time or the nerve to dig in yet. It's nice to hear from others to help feed the mantra, "It's not that hard."
