10C: asterisk occasionally flashes on LCD Message #1 Posted by Therese on 7 Nov 2002, 12:22 p.m. What does this mean? Is my battery getting low? It appears every now and then in the lower left part of the display for just a couple of seconds and then goes away.

So, you may also have a bad contact (any sort of dirt will cause that, even finger fat). If you have the means, test each battery; maybe one of them is getting low. It's also good practice checking for batteries leakage (monthly); your HP10C (as you are probably fed up listening) is a lot precious, and this is a simple check to keep it alive. Best regards.
