Do you know the serial number?

Sorry, I don't have that calculator any more. I have since upgraded to a 49g+ then from there to a 50g, not keeping the old ones. In addition to flaky (literally) keys, the early 49g had a bug in the serial port. You should be able to find old reviews online to see what problems early adopters had. Edit: I found one for you!
