Re: Re: TI-H: Turboed 85




Turboed 85s, especialy if they are diferent speeds on a DIP switch like mine, need a lot of electrical tape inside to stop shorting. It's a good precaution, even if your shure.
here are the two problems I had and how I fixed them:
1 problem: every time I squeezed it the screen would go crazy with horizonal lines.
solution: electrical tape between posible short areas
2 problem: case did not close properly
solution: right under the blank spot next to the backup battery there is a small orange box, a surface-mount electrolitic capacitor.(this is ROM ver 10.00 :D) I desoldered it, fliped it around, I soldered the left side of it back to the pad it was on (pad on right) and ran a small thick wire from the right of it to the pad on the left. polarity is not reversed, and the little wire dosn't efect anything! by the way that was with the calc face-down, link port facing you.

I hope this helped somebody.
