Display on 32SII gone mad... Message #1 Posted by Dag on 21 Sept 2006, 11:49 a.m. My child uses the 32S II är school. Some of her classmates borrowed the calculator and pressed on different buttons randomly. All of a sudden the display died, and there it stayed. I have taken out the batteries twice, and now the calculator runs. But in the display, I only see strange bars, arrows and other stuff. Anyone know what this could be and how to solve the issue? I have a picture of the display, but I don't know how to post it .

Then you can post the link here. Does not sound good. Have you tried all of the memory clearing operations that are listed in the manual?

I have lost the manual some years ago and not searched for a new since I know what I need. Now I found a .pdf version of the manual on the net, and yes, the total reset worked! I looked like this and changed for every time i pressed a button. You learn something new every day.

Message #4 Posted by Ricardo Guerreiro (Argentina) on 22 Sept 2006, 12:18 p.m., in response to message #3 by Dag I had a similar problem a few weeks ago with my hp32sii, but it happened when it got "twisted" inside a backpack. I had to take away the batteries to get it normal again.
