Went to a Dollar store today and picked up two solar powered calculators or so I thought. They had the little tell tale window. I needed the little solar cell for the slave flash trigger I was going to build.
After slaving for several minutes to remove the 6 small screws on the back, I peaked inside looking for the wires going the solar cell, there were none. There were no solar cell either just a piece of plastic and a little battery close by.
Spent some time Goggling but nothing that small was to be found. HELP!

It's just a battery power calculator, a common Chinese trick!.
