Hi Pablo,

If the empty case of this HP-67 is still in good shape, would you be interested in selling that to me?

Kees.

No photos visible in Firefox
All I see are things like [Image: aaaaa.jpg], but not as a clickable link, but if I use the context menu I can see it when I select View Image.

Here is the link for the 1st photo:

If you use that link directly, can you see it?

This is the die shot of the ACT chip from a Hp25, the decaping of the chip went wrong and I almost destroy the die.

Yes, that works directly and it appears in the text in the color for a link. Not sure why my Firefox isn't rendering the other links in this thread that way.

That is strange. Not sure why FF would not display them? Do you have any aggressive security settings enabled?

The links will work in Firefox by disabling "Tracking Protection".

Cool shots! What technique did you use to decap the chips? I am considering a decap project for some non-calculator parts.

Chris, I burn the chip with a torch and remove the ashes carefully until the die is exposed, I then clean the die with Isopropanol and then I rub the die over a hard cardboard with some drops of Brasso metal cleaner and that's all. I hope you find this information useful.
