Re: HP 42s Machine Reset Problem Message #6 Posted by Raymond Hellstern (Germany) on 25 Nov 2002, 7:46 p.m., in response to message #4 by Shawn
My tip (if not already given by s.o. else):
Remove the batteries, take a metal paper clip,
carefully short the battery terminals for one or two seconds, re-insert the batteries.
Try to turn the machine on.
If that doesn't work,
then short the terminals with the batteries in
for a short moment, say part of a second.
Try to turn the machine on.
But: NEVER NEVER put in the batteries with wrong polarity!
This could really damage your 42S,
at least on the 48 series calcs it does.
In that case the calc will drain the batts in two days...
