HP-71 case foam? Message #1 Posted by M G Berberich on 5 Sept 2006, 7:24 a.m. I purchased an HP-71B with case (the hp synthetic leather case). There was lots of tiny, black, sticky particles in the case. I washed the case and now they are gone, but I wonder where they came from. Are the HP-71B cases foam-padded? Could it be that the foam dissolves to a kind of sticky dust?

There's some kind of spongy stuff between the outer imitation leather and the inner cloth, and it's falling apart. I stuck packing tape on the inside of my cases, which has kept most of that junk off of the computer. Garth wilsonmineszdslextremezcom (replace the z's with @ and . ) Edited: 5 Sept 2006, 4:14 p.m.

I wash them inside out at 30°C (no bleach) in my washing machine, let them dry in the open air and the ugly sticky stuff usually disappears. Etienne
