Are there a bunch of spots on the right side of the board where it looks 
like parts could be added, but weren't? also, where do the wires lead 
to?

I'm going to try to get my hands on an 82 and open it up... my

the 82 is not like the 85 or the 81, but you say you can get TI-82's 
that are broken? If you could get a bunch, I'm running low on 82 parts, 
especialy screen assemblys. I would get you money for shipping and a 
couple of dollars for your spending pleasure (=
name your price...
I also wonder if there are other type of calcs broken. I'll give you all 
the money for shipping and a little extra for your service. I want parts 
to as many and as many types of calcs. I have had to lately turn down a 
few people who needed help fixing their calcs cause I didn't have any 
parts for them.

Please help me. Pleeeeeze!!!  /;

The backup battery is not used when the normal batteries are installed, 
even the lithium backup battery doesn't run but several days. Those 
capacitors can hold and produce 5v for many hours and some even days. 
They are usualy in the farad range (camera flash is about 1000uf or less 
(micro farads)) Besides, you rarely tak the batteries out. Just to reset 
or switch the main batteries.

Thanks!
