Unable to clear HP-41cv MEMORY LOST error Message #1 Posted by Todd Koumrian on 18 June 2002, 12:32 a.m.
Can't seem to clear the MEMORY LOST message despite doing what the manual says....
I just bought an HP-41cv, since I liked it many years ago. There were batteries installed, but incorrectly, and some were starting to leak just a bit. No damage, no acid on the terminals or springs.
However, when I put new batteries the display immediately shows MEMORY LOST without even pressing ON. Further, I cannot clear the error no matter what. I've tried pressing CLX and ON while inserting the batteries, but no luck. Occasionally when I put the batteries in, the display is very faded, but immediately becomes crisp MEMORY LOST when I press a key (keypad is working then??).
Can anyone advise? I have only a couple days to determine if it'll work or I should return it for a refund.
Thanks!
