Re: HP-41CX & Barcode Wand Problem Message #3 Posted by Nick Taylor on 27 June 2008, 11:00 a.m., in response to message #2 by Raymond Del Tondo
Hi Raymond,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I have carefully wiped the contacts in the ports of the 41cx with a cotton-bud dipped in methylated spirits and this removed a tiny amount of dirt.
However, the problem still remains. All fine in ports 2 & 4 and nothing in ports 1 & 3. Sometimes when I move the wand back to port 3 and press the scan button, I very briefly see a flicker of light in the tip, but it immediately stops and doesn't return.
The battery contacts are clean as a whistle.
Having just received the wand, I'm stuck as to whether the problem is with the wand or the 41cx. I paid a lot for the 41cx, but it does seem to be in excellent condition.
Any further thoughts gratefully received!
