Re: Little help about 17bII+ Message #2 Posted by Paul on 8 Aug 2011, 1:35 p.m., in response to message #1 by Horacio R
I too have a silver 17bII+ (following an unfortunate combination of tea and a gold 17bII).
Occasionally I've had missing keystrokes, like you mainly with the "1". Over time I've come to believe this is a buffering problem rather than mechanical and reflected my habit of repeatedly pressing the CLR button before beginning a new calc. Now I've put myself on the straight and narrow and only press the CLR button once all seems good - no missing keystrokes.
I guess when one pays a lot for a calculator one has to learn to live with its eccentricities. Indeed I've just bought an expensive push bike and when I commented that the peddles were “plasticky”, the dealer thought I was lucky to get peddles included - there's something about paying more for less.
