HP42S Message #1 Posted by Gary Fok on 15 July 2002, 12:51 p.m. Dear Sir/Madam, My HP42S went out of service. I have not use it for a couple of year. When I start to turn on the calculator. I got nothing. Would somebody help me to repair it ? Best regards, G.F.

(Germany) on 15 July 2002, 1:11 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gary Fok Hi, I think the thing one wants to try first is shortening the battery contacts with a paper clip for a few seconds/minutes(after removing the batteries). This revived my HP42s. Frank.
