Re: Help ! HP-42S Invalid Type Error Message #2 Posted by Doug on 5 Jan 2001, 1:57 p.m., in response to message #1 by Doug
Ok, so how often does the same person that posted the question have the first response? Duh, Well I tried to clear the summation register and couldn't - same error. So I cleared everything (CLALL). Oh well, I can punch in the several programs I had later..
Then I got another error - Size error. So then I relocated the first summation register to R11 (default), and poof it works.... Whew !
In the process of this whole problem, I have discovered that there is a world of HP calc nuts out there (I guess I am now an accomplice too.) I am disappointed to dsicover that HP has discontinued the 42s. I can see why so many folks love it. I used to just think it was an old HP (dime a dozen) and I treated it pretty rough (a testament to its ruggedness. Now that I know I will probably pay more to replace it than I paid for it, I will treat it accordingly.
