Re: Frozen HP-11c after batt change Message #2 Posted by Reinhard Hawel on 6 July 2000, 3:21 a.m., in response to message #1 by Steve
You should short the battery contacts for some seconds and then let the 11C rest. You can also try to shorten them more than once before inserting the batteries.
I'd also test, if the new batteries are o.k. Do you have a meter ?
A friend of mine had a 71B with similar symptoms and he had to leave it for abt 2 weeks until it wanted to work again.
I hope you didn't try the reverse polarity with the batteries...
If you did everything right, I'm sure, that it isn't defunct.
