When you try to put it in into scientific mode does it instead go into the fixed mode at the same number of decimals? That is, if you try "shift SCI 6" does the result look like you did "FIX 6" ?

If so, perhaps the "FIX" key is dirty and is generating some key bounce when pressed.

The sequence "shift FIX FIX" is the same as just pressing "FIX", so a key bounce from the "FIX" key will effectively cancel shift key (and consequently the "SCI" instruction).

Yes that's exactly what happens, good call. I'll try cleaning it when I get home tonight
