TI-H: Well, this is rather interesting.

If you want to get to the point, start at the second paragraph.


        Ok.  One day at school, I was coming into class, and I dropped my
bookbag.  Taking into account the way I store my 92 in my bookbag, and the
way I dropped my bookbag, all 5 books and the binder I carry landed on my 92
on one exact point.  This point was somewhere above the "R" key on the
keyboard.  I realized the possibility of damage to my 92, so I checked it.
Sure enough, the LCD was in a few more pieces than the manufacturer (SP)
intended.  Well, I checked @ 1-800-TI-CARES, and found that by the time I
calculated (ironic, sorta) the price to insure the calc's transfere in the
mail, the cost of repair, and how much it would cost to ship the heavy
thing, it wound up to being $200.  That's the price of a WHOLE new calc in
my area.  SO... I decided to try and replace the LCD myself.  If I'm right
about the way LCDs operate, I should be able to fix it.


        THE QUESTION IS:  Where can I buy a new LCD for it?  I have little
time, so if someone knows right off the top of their head, please tell me.
Thanx!  BTW: if you're going to tell me, please put the reply line in all
caps.  if you feel like it.  Don't matter TOO much.




PS:  If anyone wants to see all that happened, and the stages of repair that
the calculator's insides went through, mail me.  I'm going to record the
pics of the stages, and describe the way to repair the screen with VERY nice
pictures.
