HP 11c display problem Message #1 Posted by Scott on 12 Aug 2005, 11:23 a.m. Something happened to my HP 11C display. "0,000" appears, and when I use it, a decimal appears where I don't want it. How do I get it to display "0000.0" without the comma?

Your HP11C has somehow switched the decimal point to a comma. I think you need to turn it off and then hold the decimal key while you press [ON] again. I believe that should restore the decimal point. If I am mistaken, then teh folks out there should correct me. Namir
