[comp.sys.handhelds] Repair of a TI SR-50A

dbd@theory.uh.edu (Dan Davison) (07/30/90)

My ancient, venerable SR50A has finally bit the dust.  It lasted over
10 years, though.  The Official Word from TI is that it cannot be
repaired. The standard replace-battery-pack-and-charger didn't revive
it, so I assume the fault is on the circuit board somewhere.

Does anyone know of a place that *can* repair this calculator, or,
does anyone have a TI SR50A that they care to part with, or know a
source of a circuit board?

There are more advanced and better calculators, of course, but this
particular one is of *extreme* personal significance and I'd like to
keep it running.

Please e-mail replies and I will summarize if there is interest.(BTW,
when I summarize notes, unless the senders say it's ok in their
replies, I do not post names.)

Thanks very much!

"Mars is essentially in the same orbit...somewhat the same distance
from the sun, which is very important.  We have seen pictures where
there are canals, we believe, and water.  If there is water, that
means there is oxygen.  If oxygen, that means we can breathe" -- Vice
President Dan Quayle, Head of the National Space Council, when
questioned on CNN about why America should send a mission to Mars.
