A more descriptive title would be, "TI-83 LCD ribbon repair".

I have my old TI-86 which seems to have the same problem so I'll have to try the same technique.

The TI calculators were amazing environments for learning assembly. There are a bunch of good tutorials and the computer is relatively simple and you get direct access to the display.

I replaced the failed ribbon cable with small wires on my ti-83+ probably 7 years ago now. It was pretty straight forward. I've used the calculator maybe once since then, but I keep it around for nostalgia.
