Re: Memory Lost in HP-41CV Message #4 Posted by Steve (Australia) on 12 Mar 2001, 5:03 p.m., in response to message #3 by Elías López-Cruz
You could try geting a piece of foil snd plscing it scross the battery terminals for a while (without batteries!) and try again.
I believe some HP41s could last in excess of a week without batteries and still retain enough power to preserve the memory.
A while back I posted a list of 10 things you could try to do to recover a crashed calculator. I don't have time to repost them, but you might want to search for this posting and try those out.
As a last resort, take the batteries out, put the calculator in a drawer, and try again in June.
I have found that some HP-41s do sort of lock up when power is first applied after a prolonged period without batteries. The trick of removing and reinserting batteries, or the power on reset has always worked for me.
