Re: TI-H: End of link cable broke off in I/O port
Here's what I would do:
Take the broken plug, put a bit of super glue on the end, and plug it
into the calculator so that the broken end touches the part that is
broken off in the calculator. Wait a few minuits for the glue to dry,
and pull it out. With luck, the broken part will come out. If all else
fails, open the calculator and see if you can push the broken part
out. I don't know if this would work, because (on the 92 anyway) the
jack is completely inclosed. I don't know about the 83. As for the
broken Graph-Link, you could buy a replacement calc-to-calc link from
TI for $5, and splice one end onto the broken end of the Graphlink.
Good luck!
