Re: HP33s Keyboard & Battery Issues Message #11 Posted by Antonio Maschio (Italy) on 4 Apr 2006, 12:18 p.m., in response to message #10 by John Daly
I'm going to tell you my experience:
one month ago I bought a brand new HP 33S from an Italian HP Store. I immediately realized that the 0 keypad (which holds INPUT and VIEW commands too) could be used only if you pressed the upper left corner. Pressing in the middle was a bet: one fourth of the keypresses was right. Imagine to digit 1000000!
I ask the store what to do: they replied that they would change the machine with another one (in EU there are two years of warranty), but in the meantime, they asked if I could do the following: grab the key with two fingernails and shake it left to right, to see if the little pad under the key would set up. Of course, this didn't work, so now I have another HP 33S, which work perfectly, apart the ex key (holding 10x and integration too) which manifests the same problem, but this time it works if you *don't* press only the upper left corner. This is a nuisance rather than an issue, so I can cope with it.
Hope this will help someone.
