yeah if you tried to repair that, it would cost you more than buying a new one

Yes, shouldn't be too difficult if you know what you're doing. Water damage is permanent though, I imagine the motherboard will be corroded after many years.

I’d say it would be better and easier to just buy a new one. After all, it’s only a calculator.

Yeah I should just buy a new one I thought repair would 20-25 so it would be cheaper but I’ll just buy a new one I guess

I've never seen spare parts sold for a calculator.

Only possible way of doing a repair would be to buy another failed unit and swap out the screen. That option is most likely not even possible if the screen is hard soldered onto the circuit board. This is done to keep production and parts costs down.

Repair costs would be more than buying a new one.

You recently dropped it in water? Could be worth removing the batteries and trying to dry it out, if the case can be opened by unscrewing it'd probably dry out faster.
