The HP 48G was the last meaningful advancement of calculators. I have purchased ~50 of them from Ebay since 2001. Each is sealed in a nitrogen-purged chamber. If you can't do it with an HP 48G, then it is not worth doing.

whenever someone posts something like this on /sci/, I think it is more likely than not that it is true, because there are some people out there obsessive enough to do something like this, and why oughtn't they to be here on this little corner of the internet?

I've got part of a vertical row of keys not working on my ti-83, it's probably a single connection that got banged loose due to my losing the cover and keeping it in my luggage, anyone ever fix a calc with solder?

Anyone tried Casio CFX-9850GC Plus? Pretty darn mediocre. It was the recommended calculator for all HS students here in Norway in the 2000s.
