HP32SII Keyboard fix - Ketih Shelley - 07-27-2007 For those who know, the keys on the right side of the HP32SII tend to get extremely unresponsive after many years. Re: HP32SII Keyboard fix - Curtis Tom - 07-27-2007 If you're willing to remove the calculator back, a much more elegant and permanent fix would be to tighten the lower three metal tabs that hold the LCD to the circuit board. Besides holding the LCD in place, the metal frame serves to compress the conductive rubber strip ("zebra strips") between the electrically conductive regions of LCD glass to the printed circuit board pads. GENTLY twist the tabs by 20 degrees or so (counterclockwise, with the back of the calculator facing you) to increase the compressive force and that should resolve the problem - hopefully! If the key pad contacts are dirty or damaged, this procedure will not help...
Re: HP32SII Keyboard fix - y.miyata - 08-02-2007 > "... tighten the lower three metal tabs that hold the LCD to the circuit board." I'm very interested in this, because mine has the same problem with the keyboard. How can I find "the lower three metal tabs"? Do you mean that the calculator should be disassembled to access the metal tabs ? Thank you very much in advance, Sincerely
