Re: HP 38E Decimal point switch Message #2 Posted by Katie on 24 Jan 2001, 10:49 p.m., in response to message #1 by Thibaut.be The decimal point "switch" is actually a wire jumper on the small power supply board inside the 3x series calculators. If the jumper is in place (i.e. shorted), the decimal point will be a period, if not in place (i.e., open) it will be a comma. The location of the jumper varies slightly among version of these calculators, however it is always right above the location on the board where the flexible circuit connector is attached.
