Hello,
I would like to fix an HP 9810A that apparently got damaged during shipment from USA to Europe.
There is a problem with the display.
- Instead of having the three display lines show the x, y and z registers respectively, all three show the same pattern, which seems to be the merging of x, y and z.
- In addition, on the three display lines, only the 8 left hand side digits seem alive, the 7 right hand side digits stay black.
The calculator logic however seems fine, and the printer works well. It is able to print results consistent with what I key in.
It appears the calculator was not packaged safely enough and got shocked during shipment. The bezel got broken in several places, and the metal plate at the bottom of the calculator is slightly bent.
I did a quick visual inspection of the boards inside the calculator, they seem to be in good shape though.
Does this ring a bell ?
Any help greatly appreciated!
