HP41C calculator Message #1 Posted by Tal on 29 Mar 2002, 6:06 a.m. Hi, All! I hold an HP41C calculator. After I hadn't worked with it for too years, I tried to operate it, but only the start beep works with 4 fresh batteries. Best regards, Tal

One of the major ones is "dirty" data. Sometimes, simply oppening the calc and short-circuiting both capacitors inside it is enough. One other reason is physical dirty, now in the batteries/IO assembly. This leads us to a question: do you know how to open the calculator? Are you ready to try? Let us know. (if you want to have a look first, go here just to know how to open it.) cheers.
