hp 97 with hot resistor Message #1 Posted by martin on 13 May 2002, 5:32 a.m.
hallo,
i am new here. may be you discussed such problems before, but i did'nt find any entry, helping me.
from a friend i received a not working hp 97 (newer version; made in brazil; only the upper led in the display is working). the tall resistor (visible after opening the back cover)was seperated. fixing it again, nothing changed, but this resistor is getting real hot (that's why it fell out).
of course this is not a sufficiant description, but may be this problem did happen to other hps resulting from a common cause. any advise (e.g. where to read more about such things) is welcome...
- thank you
martin
