Re: 34C Thousands seperator Message #2 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 29 July 2002, 1:05 p.m., in response to message #1 by Mike
Hi;
I rmember one fact that may help you figure it out.
I had a classmate that owned one HP34C before buying a new HP41C. I remembered his 34 appeared to be dammaged: everything worked fine, but [STO][ENTER] selftest return Error 9. He sent his USA original to Hewlett-Packard do Brasil and, a few weeks later, there she was... with a comma as radix mark. He called me and showed me the new 34C, "comma", instead of "dot".
It seems it's an internal choice. I did not open the calcualtor at that time, but I believe if it is not made with a jumper, it only can be accomplished with a new display driver OR a complete CPU, if it is internal.
Hope this info help you.
Cheers.
