Recall of the HP48GII Message #1 Posted by Sergei Frolov on 30 Nov 2003, 12:39 p.m. I heard, that HP recall the HP48Gii from sale. Is this a software or hardware problem? I set this question, because I want to find out: should I search the HP48Gii for the collectors purpose? Or the corrected HP48Gii will same? Thanks

Re: Recall of the HP48GII Message #2 Posted by Namir Shammas on 30 Nov 2003, 1:39 p.m., in response to message #1 by Sergei Frolov Sounds like you are right! I checked the HP web site and they are NOT selling the HP48GII. It is still announced, but that's as far as it goes. I also checked Amazon and they are no longer selling the HP48GII either.

Re: Recall of the HP48GII Message #3 Posted by Arnold Steekelenburg on 30 Nov 2003, 2:32 p.m., in response to message #1 by Sergei Frolov It's a software problem. The HP48GII suffers from the same high power consumption as the first batch of HP49G+. The problem was solved by the new OS version 1.22. But because the HP48GII does NOT have a flashable rom, it can not be "upgraded". HP postponed the introduction of the HP48GII to january 2004. Arnold

Re: Recall of the HP48GII Message #4 Posted by Namir Shammas on 30 Nov 2003, 3:16 p.m., in response to message #3 by Arnold Steekelenburg Thanks Arnold. Makes sense. My HP48GII has ROM version 1.20 and says it's an HP49-C. I know the HP48GII is based on the old HP49G, but I thought that the ROm would at least show a 48-related name!!! I have not used my HP48GII much. It powers up fine (the batteries have been in it for a while too) and seems to work fine. BTW, is the HP39G+ recalled also??? Namir

Re: Recall of the HP48GII Message #5 Posted by Gene on 30 Nov 2003, 3:28 p.m., in response to message #4 by Namir Shammas The 39G+ (assuming such an animal is to exist) has not been introduced yet, so it cannot yet be recalled! :-) The 48GII problem was with high power drain with power off. If you have rom 1.20 on a 48GII, it has this problem. Gene

Re: Recall of the HP48GII Message #6 Posted by Namir Shammas on 30 Nov 2003, 4:47 p.m., in response to message #5 by Gene Thanks Gene for the info. I was able to order an HP39G+ from Amazon (should arrive tomorrow here). Amazon is no longer offering the 39G+. Namir

39G+? Shouldn't be arriving at all Message #7 Posted by Gene on 30 Nov 2003, 5:28 p.m., in response to message #6 by Namir Shammas It will be interesting to see what arrives to you tomorrow. The 39G+ has not been introduced in the USA (or anywhere) (yet). There shouldn't have been any 39G+'s for Amazon.com to ship to you. Hmm...if you get a 39G+ tomorrow, let me (us) know. Gene

Re: 39G+? Shouldn't be arriving at all Message #8 Posted by Namir Shammas on 30 Nov 2003, 6:04 p.m., in response to message #7 by Gene Will do Gene. I double checked my Amazon order and it is an HP39G+ they sell for just under $79.

Re: 39G+? Shouldn't be arriving at all Message #9 Posted by Namir Shammas on 1 Dec 2003, 6:01 p.m., in response to message #7 by Gene Gene, I got my HP39G+ today. It's still in bubble wrap!!! :-) Namir

Re: 39G+? Shouldn't be arriving at all Message #10 Posted by David Ramsey on 1 Dec 2003, 6:24 p.m., in response to message #9 by Namir Shammas Yesterday, I went to Amazon and easily found the 39g+, but waited to order until I saw yours had arrived. Today I can't find it. Of course I didn't save the link... Could you post the link if it's still available?
