I dusted off my old 41CL yesterday and was playing around with the secondary MMU settings. I accidentally swapped in an undefined configuration and the calculator locked up. Removing the batteries for a time got me a MEMORY LOST. After that, executing "MMUDIS MMUCLR "YFNZ" PLUG1L MMUEN locks up the calculator again. Have I bricked my expensive tech toy?
P.S. This is v5 hardware. The YFNZ version is 4G
I have tried very hard to brick my 41CL and I was not able to do so permanently.
Do another Memory Lost and redo your commands, it should works.
If not, remove the batteries, {wait for ... see period below}, insert the batteries and redo your commands, it should works, if not, use a longer wait period.
Wait period: 1 minute, 1 hours, 1 day, 1 week

PS: On a standard 41C/CV/CX I use a paper clip to short the first and last battery connector in the 41 case, but I do not remember if the trick works on the 41CL.
Thanks for your quick reply!

Repeating the steps results in the same outcome. I've tried four or five repetitions, varying the configuration slightly.

One minute suffices to get me back to MEMORY LOST. I'm currently in the first one hour wait period to see if that improves things.
Howard,
I am assuming that no physical modules is plugged at the back.
Have you tried "YFNX" instead of "YFNZ" ?
Sylvain
Howard,
Maybe your problem is with the 41CL system RAM at page 0x804.
You can brute force a complete clear of the 41CL with the following:
Code:
MMUDIS // disable MMU
"801000-0000" // alternate memory 1 address & reset value
YMCLR // clear alt-mem-1
"802000-0000" // alternate memory 2 address & reset value
YMCLR // clear alt-mem-2
"803000-0000" // alternate memory 3 address & reset value
YMCLR // clear alt-mem-3
"804000-0000" // internal memory & reset value
YMCLR // clear internal memory
"800000-0000" // main memory address & reset value
YMCLR // clear main-mem & creating a memory lost

Oddly enough, loading YFNX seems to have fixed the problem.
And Sylvain strikes again!
Good one.
