Re: Missing pixels TI-85



Just a note to the below.  Once you open the calculator, TI's warranty is
null and void, just in case you couldn't do it you wanted to send it back
and have them fix it.  They will fix it, with the warranty void for a fee (I
think around $20) but you have to pay for shipping to and from TI.
