Re: HP-25 left on for a long, long, while Message #12 Posted by Larry Corrado on 9 Apr 2013, 9:46 p.m., in response to message #8 by Matt Agajanian
I used an HP-21 and an HP-25 virtually daily for 25 years, and, yes, it is often hard to get the battery pack out.
You are right to try to slide the battery pack forward in the direction of the arrow. I often found that my finger didn't work. I would then use a wooden stick (to avoid gouging the plastic) against the lip near the tip of the arrow.
In extreme cases, I would put a screwdriver in the slot at the other end of the pack and rotate 90 degrees. However, the risk of gouging is increased by doing this.
In either case, when the pack slides forward, the bottom of the pack should pop out of the calculator case.
Hope this helps.
Larry
