"Warning! Most models can be damaged if run from the charger without good batteries installed. Only the manuals for the HP 35 and 45 models say that it's OK to run without batteries, but many collectors feel that even those should have batteries installed for maximum protection and long life."

I believe the ACT chip is the most common part damaged by running on the charger without a good battery installed. I suspect if the ACT is bad in your HP-38E the only replacement is one from another HP-38E.
