My graphing calc collection?

Casio fx-9750GA+
TI-83
TI-89Titanium
HP-50g
And soon a TI-Nspire w/TI-84 keypad.

And maybe a Casio Prizm or TI-Nspire CAS+ in a month or two.

Can the LCDs be easily replaced?

I'm sure I can open it up and pick up some spare parts some where to fix it, but I haven't tried yet.

Is ebay my best bet for spare calculator parts? My TI-83's pretty beat up and missing the battery door, it would be nice to have it restored but I haven't been able to find replacement parts.

You could get a broken calc from someone probably.  Thats what I did to repair my 84+BE.  ;)

@Mike/Yunhua Kerm actually buys broken LCD calcs on Ebay and repares them. If you ever get a broken LCD calc and would like to repair it, Kerm might be able to give you tips, and he even has a topic about this somewhere on his forum.

Personally, 4 of my calcs are broken in some ways:
-TI-83+: The one with an Omni logo on it has a broken link port. I lost part of it.
-TI-83+ Silver Edition: When turned OFF, Battery power is being drained as fast as when the calc is turned ON. Basically, even if the calc remains turned OFF, unused for 2 days, if I pick it up again afterward the batteries are dead.
-TI-80: Glitchy LCD and maybe broken RAM, since stuff displays randomly or something.
-TI-92: About 3 missing columns of pixels.

Yeah I remember about your TI-Nspire. X.x I think that might be a reason why TI got rid of the keypad idea in the CX. I'M sure you were not alone with this problem, since a lot of students play 83+ games.

@Darl181 lol I wish I had a 9750GII/+ instead of 9750G+, because I would immediately turn it into a 9860G :D

What's the difference in hardware?

I do not think there is any. Following a French tutorial somewhere on TI-BANK, you just have to Flash the OS or something then replace it with a FX-9860GII OS. Kinda like how you can convert a TI-73 into a TI-83 Plus.

Does it work with an fx-9750GA+?

I doubt it. I think it's just the models with a II at the end. These ones has a the same SH3 processor as the one in the 9860G and 9860GII and the necessary Flash memory. The difference with the 9860GII is that the 9750GII has no backlight.
