Neutral Neutral Is TI watching us figuring out how to make calculators harder for us to modify Neutral
by the way what type of backlighting are we talking about and by the way any pictures you have of this

How did you want to remove the glue? I'm guessing you want to dissolve it somehow with another liquid. Some clear glues can be removed using acetone (a key ingredient in nail polish remover). I'm not certain of what the effect of acetone is on copper traces.

It might be using some kind of commercial epoxy. The hardware stores might have some specialized desolvers. They're kind of harsh though.

I tested the ether substance on the calcs glue holding the crystal display together and it doesnt do any effect so I say use an ether substace. (Methal ether Keyton, PC strip board solutions for photo sesitive PC boards stuff like that).

I used a thin piece of plastic like a credit card to slowly lever the pieces apart, then used a standard adhesive remover to get the stickyness/dirtiness off.
