General Repair Information
We have found that a flat rate charge is the fastest and fairest way to get your calculator repaired. The standard flat labor rate includes the necessary repairs to return your calculator to 100% functional condition and includes:
- Labor to repair as required.
- Cleaning both outside and inside of the calculator. The keyboard surround area is cleaned. Every attempt will be made to thoroughly clean extremely dirty units, some discoloration and finish loss may occur in older units. If the calculator has a protective lens in front of the LCD, accumulated dirt specs will be removed between the lens and LCD when possible.
- Fresh batteries.
- Non-HP generic parts (resistors, capacitors, etc)
- Return shipping when you are within the USA. Please contact us for shipping costs elsewhere in the world.
What is not included in the calculator repair fee:
- Custom HP parts. These include replacement CPU (logic) boards, Liquid Crystal Displays(LCD's), connectors and other major components of the calculator.
- Rebuilding of rechargeable batteries and repair of chargers. Costs for these services are listed with the calculator fees.
- 6% PA Sales Tax must be added when shipping the unit to an address in Pennsylvania.
If you know that your unit will require a replacement LCD, please contact us to ensure a replacement part is available. 32Sii LCD's are currently unavailable. All other models should be available but please contact us first for current pricing. Please provide the serial number of the unit as there may be different parts used even though they outwardly appear identical.
Repairs to extensively damaged units and/or where the parts cost would exceed $15 will be quoted before work proceeds. To repeat, no work beyond the flat rate plus $15 will be done without your approval,
In general, keyboards account for most of the non-repairable problems. While many times intermittent keys can be cleaned, damaged keys, loose keys that rock side to side and keys that do not have the proper "click" cannot be repaired. Units with entire rows or columns of non-functional keys can generally be repaired. Please email us should you have any questions about what can and cannot be repaired before sending your calculator.
In the unlikely event we cannot repair your calculator, we do not charge the full repair fee. All that we ask is that you pay a small fee for the work done and the cost of return shipping. If you do not want the unrepairable calculator returned, there is no charge for our work. The charge for customers in the US is $25.00. Outside the US, the fee is $20.00 plus the actual cost of shipment.
We are happy to accept most major credit cards, your personal checks and money orders for payment.
