Yes, my first thought was to check the self test, but after reading here on the forum that the self test does not lit the "*" sign on the LCD, I have carefully collected 3 LR44 batteries that with lit/blink the "*" on my other HP 11Cs and HP 15Cs with also sufficiently low serial numbers. They all lit/blink the "*" sign, however that one HP 11C just displayed "0,0000" and masked everything that I have typed with it. Like, if I key in "12345678" the display looks like "0,0000678".
As for everyday use I have switched to HP 15C LE, but that is another (sad) story though ...
