HP-25 problem Message #1 Posted by Robert Burnham on 22 Feb 2003, 5:06 p.m.
I have an HP-25 whose display runs unstoppably when the calc is switched on. (I'm running it from the charger because the battery pack is shot, and I have no other.) Pressing any of the buttons makes no difference, nor does switching the w/prgm switch.
As far as I can tell, the display is cycling through all the digits wildly, much as it might while a program is running. (Except for no blank-outs.)
It acts like it's channelling the universe of numbers in a kind of psychotic fugue...
I'm fond of the little guy, and I wonder if there's anything that can be done. This is not an urgent crisis, since I have other HPs (35, 67, 32sII) to keep me in crunched digits. However, it would be nice if the whole famn damily were in running order.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance --
Robert Burnham
