HP15C LE Keyboard Survey Take 3 (last round) Message #1 Posted by M. Joury on 25 Sept 2011, 7:08 p.m. All, So far I have gotten responses for 147 calculators. Of those 18 have been reported as having keyboard problems. So at this moment we have a "failure" rate of 12.24%. For those that have not responded to this survey and would care to do so please let me know how many HP-15C LE's you have purchased and how many of those (if any) have bad keys. Loose or "rattly" f and g keys don't qualify as bad keys for the purposed of this survey as long as they register correctly when pressed. So, for example, if you have 3 calcs and 1 is bad please respond with: 3:1. Thanks to everyone that has responded so far! Cheers, -Marwan

Re: HP15C LE Keyboard Survey Take 3 (last round) Message #10 Posted by M. Joury on 26 Sept 2011, 10:25 a.m., in response to message #9 by Alexander Oestert Ok. Only reason I was going to close it was I figured people were getting a little tired of seeing it keep popping up <g>. I'll keep it open (or reopen it) when I see that Europe has their delivery. Cheers, -Marwan

Re: HP15C LE Keyboard Survey Take 3 (last round) Message #22 Posted by Bernhard Ott on 27 Sept 2011, 4:13 p.m., in response to message #1 by M. Joury 0:1 #00135 CNA132091B from Samson Cable The "2" Key is not working sometimes after a normal press (and click). Works with stronger press. Quite reproduceable, I will sent it back to HP. Just waiting for a signal from Tim Wessman if he wants it for analysis.

Re: HP15C LE Keyboard Survey Take 3 (last round) Message #23 Posted by Timothy Roche on 27 Sept 2011, 8:04 p.m., in response to message #1 by M. Joury I purchased my HP 15C from Samson Cables at the beginning of the month. Limited Edition Number: 02883. Subtraction function key is intermittent. I would like to know whom I should contact to resolve this issue. Tim

Re: HP15C LE Keyboard Survey Take 3 (last round) Message #24 Posted by M. Joury on 27 Sept 2011, 8:49 p.m., in response to message #23 by Timothy Roche Take a look at this thread.

Re: HP15C LE Keyboard Survey Take 3 (last round) Message #25 Posted by Dale Reed on 27 Sept 2011, 9:40 p.m., in response to message #1 by M. Joury Marwan, I think I may have sent you this information via direct e-mail (so please don't duplicate), but I'll post here for everyone's benefit. 3:1 LE#02173 (good), LE#02196 (good), LE#02198 (bad divide key, doesn't register with a "normal" click, registers with a "forceful" click). I also got one 12C 30thAE with keyboard OK. I was able to contact HP calculators support (by phone) and register a case number. If I remember correctly what was said, I am to expect a package from HP with a replacement unit and a box for mailing in the defective unit so they can diagnose. At least that's what I am expecting.... ;-) I'll let all know what actually happens! Dale

Re: HP15C LE Keyboard Survey Take 3 (last round) Message #29 Posted by Bart (UK) on 1 Oct 2011, 4:34 a.m., in response to message #28 by Reth Just received my 15C LE. Originally the COS key didn't register with the click, but after a few tries, it now seems to register fine and directly with every click. So I will say: 1:0

Re: HP15C LE Keyboard Survey Take 3 (last round) Message #34 Posted by Michael de Estrada on 28 Sept 2011, 2:28 p.m., in response to message #1 by M. Joury Two additional units from HP H&HO, LE 878 & 1229. No bad keys, but f,g keys are loose and rattle on 1229, especially g key, which moves noticeably right-left when calc is tilted slightly right-left. 2:0 Edited: 28 Sept 2011, 4:15 p.m.
