I just looked at my TI Programmer - how on earth do you even get into the BP-8? The flex tabs that hold it together won't budge, and I'm not interested in breaking them. If I could get into it, I'd like to rebuild the battery pack. Mike ---------------- Not to start one of our flamefests over here, but it should be pretty straightforward; gently pry out the short 3 finger side with something wide enough to catch the whole width, and it will just tilt open. Hope your batteries aren't too corroded. I've replaced mine several times, as well as another TI calc using a similar pack. I _might_ even have an inverter module for the OP; still looking. mike
