Hi Bry
just had to say that!
The CV is a great machine and programming it with elegant routines is better then doing crosswords or sudoka.
Location of the ROM modules:
Turn off Calc and remove the modules at the north (top) end of the case (see above).
Follow Dieters suggestion above, if memory lost occurs, good. The calc is reset. If "nonexistant" occurs it sounds like a memory or internal PCA ROM problem.
All is not lost. Remove the batteries and let the calc sit for a few days. Some people accelerate this process by shorting the internal battery contacts in the machine. The far left shorted to the far right. There are a few more procedures but these are the safest. I am saying this as your posting indicates a level of knowledge about the system that is not as technical as some here have.
contact me by email geoffqf@telusNOTnet and substitute . for not.
So follow the procedures above and see what happens, if nothing email me or post again.
cheers, Geoff
ps i have to state, make sure the batteries are N size 1.5 volt alkaline.
there are 6.0 volt alkalines out there that fit and are used in home security systems. Of course, nonexistant would not show up on the screen, instead smoke!
