Re: question about Storage Message #3 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 27 Jan 2003, 11:36 p.m., in response to message #1 by db(martinez,california) Hi; I've heard in on mine, too (No mice, Doc.. no mice!), at lest twice, and it seems there is a drift in an oscilator. When it happened with my HP41CV, I rebuilt it after more than ten years spread appart inside a shoes' box, and it sqweeked, too. I turned it upside down and left to right and the tone changed (high-frequency with a low-frequency component). I remove and replaced the batteries: a quick tone, a [MEMORY LOST] and the life goes on... Cheers.
