"14B - Fail 8" Message Message #1 Posted by Barbara Kanu on 15 Oct 2007, 7:57 a.m. Hello to all, I repeat the question that I found in the archive - no response was there: "14B - Fail 8" Message Message #1 Posted by David Jobusch on 15 Sept 1999, 8:36 p.m. I've received email from someone asking about a problem they are having with their HP 14B. When the calculator is powered on,the display shows "14B - Fail 8". I don't have a 14B manual handy--does anyone know what this message means or can look this up for me? Thanks! Do you have a solution for me? The error 8 is displayed and I don't know what to do now. Thanks a lot for any help. Best regards Barbara

To clear it, you have to press and hold the "C" key and press the "PV" key then release both. If that does not work you can try this: press and hold "C", press and hold "N" and press "E+" (the summation key) then release them. That should reset the calculator and clear the memory. There must be a problem with the machine. Try the self-test again with "C" + "PMT" for you to see if you get the error message again. Regards, Miguel
