Hi, Eric;
just to make sure. You wrote: Quote: Short the battery terminals for at least a few minutes.
The original Voyager manuals actually recomend to briefly short the battery terminals with the batteries installed in the calculator. I remember a big thread with the subject, where ESD might be avoided if the batteries where kept in place, so the maximum of 4.5Vcc would remain, and the circuitry would be protected. If the short is brief enough, battery life would not be significantly reduced as well.
(In time: any news about that other subject?)
Best regards.
