Re: HP41CV with missing registers Message #3 Posted by Jorge I. Rodriguez (Pasadena, CA) on 8 June 2009, 8:27 p.m., in response to message #2 by Thomas Okken
I see Reg 319. Mystery solved. It is been a while since I used an HP-41 calculator. Now I remember that Size partitions program memory with storage registers. Thanks for your quick response. By the way, I opened up the calculator and saw that the corrosion is only in the two middle battery connectors. I did that because soon after I started using it, the calculator would not come back on. I found out that the inside is in perfect condition except for the corrosion in those two terminals. I used a couple of small pieces of aluminum foil to create a temporary fix. It seems that did the trick and the calculator now powers up, but the terminals need to be fixed permanently. I saw an article on the forum title "Repairing an HP-41CX" that describes such procedure, but I need to go purchase a couple of things like the glue and the brass strip to attend such a repair. Otherwise, the calculator is just better than what I expected to find.
