HP-97 HELP Message #1 Posted by me-so-sexy on 21 July 2006, 10:21 p.m. Hi, I just got my hands on an HP-97 and was wondering if anyone can help? Everything seems to works except the 7 key and the SCI key. It even prints great! Also, the 4 and 6 key seem to do repeating. Finally, card reader doesn't work.... but I don't really care if it does. Anyone got some tips on at least getting the keys to work right? And before you ask, I want to keep this one, but will sell on ebay only if I cannot get those buttons to work.

This piece can be thoroughly washed. My keyboard looks like new and does not have registration problems anymore. Arnaud

If the stem breaks, it can be very difficult to repair **vp
