Maybe... (was: Bad HP41 Time module) Message #7 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 2 Dec 2006, 8:30 p.m., in response to message #6 by Les Bell
... a cold, broken solder. I agree with the fact that a quartz X-tal is somehow hard to be a deffective componnet, but in this case, if TIME returns 12:00:00 everytime, it tells me that the clock is not ticking. If the crystal is disconnected, a tinny little bit of well placed solder might solve the problem. In time: is the crystal of the time module a discrete component or would it be integrated, I mean, in the same package of the rest of the module's circuit? Anyone with a picture?
Cheers.
