repair HP 67
Helo I am from Uruguay South America.
I have a HP67 calculator that I have been stored for a long time. I found that it doesn't run now. I would like to repair it. My question is where can I send it in order to be repaired ? Somebody know if in South Am is there any place where it can be repaired? I donot have problem to send it tu USA but I donot know where so I cannot contact any body. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Best regards. |

RE: repair HP 67
There are many possibilities for a calc to not turn-on, if it is what you mean. Checking that the battery pack is charged, that the charger works, that the battery contacts are clean, are some of the first things you could do if you didn't do it already.
If you have some experience in electronics, or other related work you may attempt to repair it yourself. You can post some pictures of it to get some advice on how to proceed. There are some Spanish speaking members here (including myself), if you feel more comfortable using Spanish I also have a 67, mine would work if I only had a battery pack... time to print or buy one. |

Alejandro Thanks for your answer. Si el foro no tiene problemas por supuesto puedo usar castellano. Mi calculadora estuvo guardada mucho tiempo. Con las computadoras mas potentes de hoy no es ya tan util como antes. Hace tiempo ya no andaba la lectora de cards, y ademas ahora se rompieron los contactos y la bateria. Yo preguntaba por si existe un lugar donde las revisen y reparen. Quiero conservarla lo mejor posible. Gracias nuevamente por tu ayuda. |

RE: repair HP 67
If the battery did not leak, a big IF, in all this time, then It may be possible to repair it on the easy/cheap. The battery contacts are made like a spring. One can find such a material, it is probably gold-plated but I think brass or bronze would also do.
The battery pack can be opened with a knife a the cells replaced with NiMH ones, you need 3 of them in series, they have fins welded to them with a spot-welder. YOu can buy such cells, soldering with normal Tin/Lead solder doesn't really work. Si la batteria no está corroída, y la corrisión no ocurrió adentro de la calculadora, o solamente en forma mínima, se pueden reemplazar los contactos de la batería. Están hechos de una chapa resorte, o sea que mantiene la forma. Bronce o latón tendrían que servir, las originals están probablemente enchapadas en oro, pero bueno. La batería se puede abrir con un cuchillo, son dos partes de plástico pegadas, las celdas originales ya no sirven pero se pueden reemplazar por 3 celdas NiHM, de mayor capacidad. Estas celdas están en serie conectadas con láminas las cuales están soldadas a las celdas con soldadura de punto. La soldadura común de estaño/plomo (o sus equivalentes) no se pueden usar. Hacé un par de fotos y vemos. Acá en el foro encontrás más informacion de como abrir la calculadora y de como es por dentro. Había alguien que reparaba algunas de las calculadoras... |

RE: repair HP 67
Alejandro voy a tratar de adjuntarte un par defotos.
En ellas se ve que falta un contacto. No se realmente si la maquina se estropeo internamente, yo limpie todo por fuera. No se como abrirla. Gracias de todos modos. |
