TI-84 Plus CE modification

Mechanical-key TI-84

Oil spilled in my backpack and killed my calculator's keypad. Instead of buying a new one, I gave it mechanical keys.

A TI-84 Plus CE calculator rebuilt with mechanical key switches
  1. What broke

    Oil got into the calculator, the conductive pads stopped working and the silicone keypad deformed.

  2. The sensible fix

    Buy a new calculator.

  3. What I did instead

    Replaced the membrane keys with mechanical switches, one by one. A fun and practical way to practice soldering, and now I own the only mechanical-key TI-84 Plus CE I know of.
