41display Message #1 Posted by b.tokarczyk on 14 Apr 2001, 8:41 a.m. I have a 41cv with three bad lcd digits, what are my options for repair/part replacement to correct problem?

Re: 41display Message #2 Posted by Steve (Australia) on 14 Apr 2001, 10:25 p.m., in response to message #1 by b.tokarczyk Describe the problems. Are they broken displays, or is the problem less dramatic? The only real hope if the display is broken is to get another good display from an otherwise broken calculator.

Re: 41display Message #3 Posted by b.tokarczyk on 15 Apr 2001, 7:37 a.m., in response to message #2 by Steve (Australia) display is not cracked at all. The first, third, and forth digits have missing LCD segments on the numerals. Is it possible to purchase a new display or the only 'part factory' is an existing model? Do I actually have to go to that extent or is there something simpler that should be checked first (loose contact ...)? There is no evidence of battery ooze and no indication of mistreatment. Thanks, Bryan

However I have never dissasembled an HP41 to the extent that Itried to get at those contacts. The last time I did that to anything with an LCD display, it never worked again. I have learned my lesson :-) There may be others who learned in a different school though.
