Hp48G top plastic cover bent?
Message #1 Posted by Luis Moreno on 26 May 2010, 4:41 a.m.

Hi everyone,

I've just bought an HP48G and, after a detailed exam, I've found that the upper pastic cover seem apparently to be slightly bent in the top part:

It forms a slight "U" shape.

Is it normal? Or maybe is it due to a misplacement of the top latches and/ or rivets?

Thank you very much, any help will be appreciated.

Hola, Luis; ¿como estás?

I have some units with this case (HP48S/SX/G/G+/GX) and some of them have their edges 'lifted up' a little bit, as yours in the picture. I cannot tell for sure, but it seems to be normal.

Cheers!

Obrigado Luiz, thank you for your response. I didn't know wether it was a common effect in the 48 series or a particularity of this machine.

I just looked at my GX and it looks similar.
