RE: TI-H: Re: Dust behind the screen. Yes , it happens.

I'm perfectly comfortable opening up my calc at any point in time.  However, I have a few little brothers who don't understand what it means to knock before entering, and even a ringing phone can ruin one's concentration.  Now, do you want to put a HOLE in your 85's board by being startled at the wrong time, or do you want to pry off the dust cover in a matter of seconds and clean it out in such a way that is supported by TI itself?

opening the calc is takeing a chance?  What are you talking about...i 
open mine all the time, and it is just fine. just dont pull on the lcd 
too hard and rip the wires out........
DO NOT CUT ANYTHING WITH A FRIGING RAZOR BLADE!!!!!
THIS IS TAKEING A CHANCE.
just unscrew the back cover, much safer.
prying works ok....but you can slip and scratch the lcd, and you can 
crease the cover. so again , just unscrew the screws(thats what they are 
there for ;))
