I had the same grief. My two hp-50g`s are long gone. The third hp-50g lives out its last years in a desk drawer. It seems to me that it will still live no more than 300 hours of active operation. Just for the sake of RPN/RPL, having lost all hope for long-lasting or improved calculators from HP, I allocated a separate android phone for hp-emulators: 42s, 48gx, 50g. Choosing a device specifically for your favorite emulators is a fairly simple task. 18nm CPU tech process, 1GB RAM, IPS (not AMOLED!), proprietary firmware lite and removing all the garbage of the phone by special access. So, now I have a small brick weighing 140 g with a power consumption of no more than 0.5 Watts (i.e. a day of continuous operation with one charging cycle). I`m no longer worried about HP`s plans or the dying of RPN/RPL.
