Snapping Keys Message #4 Posted by Larry Corrado, USA (Wisc) on 21 Dec 2005, 8:17 p.m., in response to message #1 by Hal
I have an HP-12C I got three years ago, used (s/n 3215xxxxxx). It works fine, but the "f" key snaps if I haven't used it recently (ie, in the last five seconds.) It seems to be both a tactile (touch) and audible snap.
It seems that the snap gets stronger the longer it (the "f" key") has been unused. My guess is that there is something sticky under the faceplate causing the problem. I haven't had the machine apart.
Have others noticed things like this?
