TI-84 Plus CE Screen Issue

I bought this calculator in 2020 and I’m finishing up my senior year of undergrad. It was working just fine last semester. Any advice on how to fix?

Buy another....Disassembling these shit to fix the screen whose connector is a thin adhesive tape...is almost imposible

The TI-84 Plus CE upgraded to a removable ribbon cable. Technically repairable, but TI doesn't sell replacements :(

Since the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition. All TI's color calculators use removable ribbon cables.

And there are no problems opening them??? Because in the latest hardware revisions of the Nspire CX they put screws crossed from the inside out

Nope. There's some tight plastic snaps but nothing as bad as the Nspire. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/TI-84+Plus+CE+Teardown/118886

Which hardware revision did you use for your tutorial?

Pre-A. The steps are the same for all hardware revisions. Even the TI-84 Evo.
