Another HP-21 repair
I just got another HP-21 to play with (previous one here https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-13990.html)

This one was presumed dead but could revive it just by installing new batteries. Oddly enough it does not work when connected to the charger (with batteries installed) but it operates normally on just the batteries so all is well.

Some of the keys do not register at all when pressed so I opened it and will clean it tomorrow. If I understand correctly I should clean the contacts with vinegar, then rinse with water and clean again with isopropyl alcohol.

Here is a picture of the unit disassembled
