Re: HP 41CV intermitent fault Message #2 Posted by PeterP on 16 Apr 2009, 8:10 p.m., in response to message #1 by Nigel Bamber
This is one of the most common ailments of the 41 series (next to corrosion). Most likely a broken post or two. If you carefully shake the calc I would not be surprised if you her some rattling. And/or you can probably see/feel that the top and bottom halve are not fitting together strongly. There are a few threads you can find here on this ailment (search for things like 'broken post', 'funny display', 'display @', etc). it can be repaired, but can be finicky.
Also check out this articleRepairing an 41CX
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Peter
