Re: TI-H: Broken TI-85!! Any techs???



Richard Piotter can probably help you fix it. He's knows of various
reasons for them to just stop working and he will most likely help you
out. Email him about it. I personally would say open the thing and look
for something broken off the board; lose trace maybe. Look for a chip
that has gotten white stuff on it's connectors. Other than that Richard
should be able to help out.
