I returned to work today after vacation week, and grabbed my calculator, pins, a couple of precision screw drivers I carry around with me, in my shirt pocket. I wanted to Kack-CU_late something before going to work. Pulled open the slide cover to the TI-30, turned it on, and noticed the bottom row of the LCD was missing. I said Hummm...
So, I quickly retrieved a $3.00 calculator I got at the local junk store, something I usually pick up for shirt units if it's cheap and covers the sci basics. Well, I noticed this $3.00 unit has HEX, OCT, BIN and DEC keys on it, along with the standard SCi functions of course. Even has some Integral and sum loop function. I said hmm, that was one hell of a find, why didn't I get the rest of them?
In any case, I fixed my TI-30Xa and put that gem of a $3.00 calculator back into its box where it's safe :)
P.S.
This thing does not even have a brand name on it..
