Re: HP 71B factory reset Message #4 Posted by Garth Wilson on 14 Nov 2005, 8:02 p.m., in response to message #3 by inaki
After non-BASIC programming mistakes, there was a time or two I had to remove the batteries, short the terminals together, and hold the ON button down for awhile to get it back on its feet again. I also had to do this after making the mistake of doing something like DIM D$[128](30) (with the maximum string length and the array size in the wrong order) in a text file and then TRANSFORMing to BASIC. There's a serious bug there that causes a crash that even INIT:3 won't always bring it back from.
