Blinking * on 15C Message #1 Posted by Voyager85 on 1 Apr 2006, 1:05 p.m. I just bought a 15C and an asterisk is blinking in the bottom left hand corner of the window. How to I stop the * from blinking?

Re: Blinking * on 15C Message #8 Posted by Jan on 2 Apr 2006, 4:22 p.m., in response to message #7 by David Smith Could it be that I spread around (bad) vibes or something. I bought my 15C in 1989 and meanwhile I had to change the batteries twice. I have some weird experiences with other pieces of equipment both good and bad too. Shall I call the producers of the X-files?

Re: Blinking * on 15C Message #9 Posted by Namir on 2 Apr 2006, 5:20 p.m., in response to message #8 by Jan X-Fles or perhaps more appropriately the TZYX-Files that handle RPN phenomenas!! Namir Edited: 2 Apr 2006, 5:20 p.m.

Re: Blinking * on 15C Message #10 Posted by Thomas Okken on 2 Apr 2006, 5:52 p.m., in response to message #8 by Jan I had to change the batteries in my 10C at least twice, and I owned it less than 5 years. Of course, it did have the speed-doubling upgrade, plus, I actually used it (heavily). All those stories about voyager batteries lasting forever just make me think those calcs aren't getting enough exercise. It's nothing to be proud of, people!
