Just bought a HP12c at auction and cannot get it to turn on, any idea about how and where I can get it repaired. Thanks. JB

Hi,

Did you checked the battery life? Or the seller sold you a broken one?

Cheers.

Did you know that it was dead when you bought it?

Make sure you have good batteries. Try resetting by holding the "-" key while turning it on. If that give you a "pr error" then you're good to go. Otherwise, take the batteries out, and short the battery terminals together for a bit (2 seconds to...I've done it as long as 30 seconds). Insert batteries back and try the reset procedure again.
