I wouldnīt say it is complicated. I did it to day, or right said my teacher
did. I had opened the calculator and I was going to get it the condensator
(C9) and I asked for a small "heater"(dont know what that thingy is
called!) but he said that was too difficult so he took a nibber and
squished the fucker! and then I just had to take of the pieces, and fuck my
calculator is fast now (9 times the TI-83) I didnīt had to put in another
condensator, it just worked.
