(Excuse me if this is posted twice - I lost my connection while Pnews was doing its work...) Some lint/dustballs got underneath the cover to my LCD screen (HOW??) and it has annoyed me for some time! So, with screw- driver in hand, I started tearing the thing apart thinking, "Now HOW many loose parts could a calculator HAVE??" Four? =^) (CASIO fx-7000G if ya missed the subject...) 1st question (which I think I got back together Ok, 'cause it turns on): In what order do the two plastic "thingies" go under the on/off switch? (And orientation..) 2nd question (a little more perplexing!): Where in the WORLD does the gold spring go and WHAT in the world is it for? At first I thought it belonged in the reset button hole, but it doesn't seem at home there. Anyway - The screen sure is nice and uncluttered now and it does work! But I'd rather use my 48sx anyway... =^) Thanks! Rich -- +-------------------------- ----+- - - ----- --------- - - - -- - + | rrauenza@PolySlo.CalPoly.EDU | Hi!

Ummmm.. As for the two plastic thingy's under the on off switch, they're the electrical part of the switch..... so if it works, you've obviously gotten it right. (i THINK there's some carbon on one side of both pieces, and that's supposed to go together..) The little gold spring is (I think) supposed to make electrical ground between the innards of the calc, and the case.. there should be a little hole in the black plastic that it goes in. Also on the pc board underneath that hole is a gold square that it makes contact with..(if you'd care to take it back apart again and find out. ;) Hopefully this will help.. Standard disclaimers apply, its been ages since I took mine apart.. David Holland IUGC500@indyvax.iupui.edu (internet) IUGC500@INDYVAX (BITNET)
