Re: HP-42S Keyboard Repairs Message #2 Posted by Matt on 18 Apr 2000, 11:07 a.m., in response to message #1 by Richard
This year will mark the fifth year of the discontinuation of the 42S (1995). This means this is the last year that HP will offer support for your calculator (if it's not already too late).
If I were you, I'd send it to HP ASAP for repair. They will obviously tell you that it (Pioneer series) cannot be repaired, but will offer a new replacement of the same model for a fee of around $70~$100 (again, if it's not too late). This is how they have resolved repair issues for the last several years.
If you don't want to bother with it, I'd be more than happy to buy that 'ol broken calculator from you. If I thought hard enough, I could probably find "something" useful to do with it ;-)
