[Video] Ben Heck dismantles some graphing calculators

Every wondered what is inside a Casio fx-7000G, a TI-86, or a Casio fx-9750GII? Ben Heck takes them to bits.

Interesting. The FX7000G must look like my 8000G which I never dared to open for more than replacing the batteries.

Are the loose wires (the red one in 6:50 and the yellow one in 9:13) in the 7000G original or after market repairs? They don't look as clean as the rest of the pcb.

The most interesting part for me was to learn the meaning of the battery number. (2032 => 20 mm wide by 3.2 mm deep)

So I ended up peeling the plastic off my mint FX-7000GA after watching this. The back looks much cleaner. I debated on disassembling mine to see if the bodge wires still exist in the GA model, but decided against.
