Hi, I followed your steps but my battery cover is not in the location that your photo indicates and the cover screws are not visible. There seems to be something covering them?
Why would my battery be situated next to the round black thing and yours is located above it at the top? If the calculator is a TI-XS 30 Multiview why on earth would they vary the orientation of internal components?
(I have had this calculator since 2006 - 12 years - it died this morning and I am disconsolate. Please help me figure out how to take the battery cover off or convince me to dispose of it.) ….I hate throwing away a good machine, even if I need to buy a more up to date graphing machine.

Please note - My battery screws (the ones that were inside the calculator next to battery) were actually glued over. I had to push the old battery out with my screw driver and push it out manually. It worked though. Glad I didn’t have to toss it, one less thing going into the land-field.

Wait a minute. Why does this calculator need a battery if it has a solar cell. It must be a fake solar cell to deceive.

It charges the CR2032.
You can shine a light on the panel and remove the battery and the calculator will still work.

It should be mentioned that you should insert a rechargable ML2032 instead of a common non-rechargable CR2032, since the solar panel will recharge the battery and standard CR2032 batteries are non-rechargable.
