I needed a T6 Torx to disassemble. I had a TI 84 quit working. I ordered a used one on eBay, but the case had a name on the back and showed a lot of wear. I disassembled both to put the parts of one case into the other. Works fine.

Does anyone know if you can buy and replace the screen on a Ti-84 +. I work for a school district and we have 120 of them 5 years old. Some of the screens have the lcd's busted by kids. Any thoughts from anyone?

Thanks for the instructions! This helped me disassemble my TI-84 Plus Silver Edition and turn it into a Gold Edition! The outcome can be seen here.

would it be possible to swap the front cover for a TI84 Plus one?  to allow for faceplate swaps.

It's not an excuse.

My Guitar Hero controller buttons were stickyish, so I opened it up to clean them.
Then, that's how I made this Instructable.
