How to change dots <> commas in HP-32E?
Message #1 Posted by Nelson M. Sicuro (Brazil) on 7 Aug 2003, 6:32 p.m.

Hi, folks! How to change dots <> commas in HP-32E? I just finished their restoration, and I need to know if was any way to do this. A jumper, maybe?

Thanks

Nelson

I'm not sure, but I remember reading about the dot/comma jumper or bridge in the international version of the 34C.

Please take a look at the technical info for the 34C here in the museum. Maybe the forum archive could help, too.

Thanks, I'll look (again) there. But I think that there isn't any jumper (I don't found any) inside it. Maybe only the international 34C have it...

If I was crazy enough I might just swap the dot and comma connection on the display! Ahh, what a sin messing up with the flexible PCB... Never mind.

Best regards,

Nelson

Here you find a very good picture of the powersupply of a Spice and the jumper in it that changes dot/comma.

I just finished assembling again my 32E. I cutted that jumper, and it is now showing dots as separators and a decimal comma. It worked!

Thanks to all!

Best regards,

Nelson

Hi, Harry;

thank you mentioning. Just to add that I read it first in one of Katie's post, sometime ago. Please, feel free using the information and the pictures anytime you want. Belongs to us all.

Best regards.
