HP 49G+
Message #1 Posted by Andreas Archenti, Stockholm on 10 Nov 2003, 5:19 p.m.

Hi HP-friends.

I have a problem.. My HP 49G+ will not start any more, it's says "Try to recover memory? Yes or Now". all over again...

I have tried all basic things "at least thats what i think", Reset button etc.

Any ideas, can it be the batteries ?

greatfull for any ideas

Best regards Andreas

When this happened to my HP-49G+, I removed all the batteries, main & back-up, for about 15 minutes. After this the calculator functioned properly. May or may not work with yours.

My 49G+ did the same thing when the batteries got low (I think) and I didn't notice. A paperclip reset gave me the "Recover Memory? Yes or No" message. I said yes and it apparently recovered everything and put it in a new directory.

I had the same problem, especially under ROM 1.20. When the machine asks for a response to "...Memory? Yes/No" I found that the YES key, F6, was locked. I tried first pressing the F5 key and then the F6 key, and that worked for me.

Hi friends, I think my problem is solved "for now", I removed all batteries, main & back-up, for the night. Then I changed them for new and made a reset... After this the calculator functioned properly.

Maybe there is a softwere flag that needed to be reseted befor it could start upp again ??

I want to tank all help full peapoles on this great forum romanum!!

Have a great day to you all Andreas
