32SII Not Responding to any key strokes Message #1 Posted by Paul Gilles on 24 Jan 2006, 1:57 p.m. Help! I recently bought a 32SII which only displays EQN LIST TOP no matter what you do. I have tried all the reset techniques in the manual, shorted out the battery contacts, left the batteries out for 2 days. When any key or combination is depressed, the ! shows up at the bottom of the display until the key is released, and the display returns to EQN LIST TOP. I think its time for surgery. How do you open up a 32SII? Thanks. prg

Re: 32SII Not Responding to any key strokes Message #3 Posted by Jeff O. on 25 Jan 2006, 12:54 p.m., in response to message #1 by Paul Gilles Info on opening the 32SII (and all pioneers) can be found here and here. It sounds like you have a problem in the keyboard itself. Access and repair to this part of the calculator is not for the faint of heart. That said, I believe that Paul Brogger (author of the two linked articles) has had success with such repairs. Good luck!
