i can't give you a rating
the music is very distracting but once i hit mute i could watch

but then, not being educated in electronics, i have no idea what it is doing or why it should work. a little explaination would make it a much more valuable video.

ADD:
Open the calculator before tapping it and find the thing that turn on the calculator take some wire connect them to a switch and put a stickon the device so you can put the switch at the end!

- If you're watching the video with...
  ...the Metacafe application, delete the video, then download it again. It also happens to me sometimes with some videos.
