RE: newRPL - Updated to build 1497 [official build remains at 1487]
I tried this many times without any result, i am still stuck into the blinky screen.
Only fix a hard reset using a pin. Other solution is to remove the battery.
Will try to re-install newRPL.

Edit:
1) I re-installed newRPL build 1497 using the newRPL desktop.
=> had an Exception Err:55755555
But no change, always the blinking screen at power "On"
2) I downgraded the Prime firmware to the 2021 04 28 version instead of the latest one from 2021 12
re- "bundled" newRPL 1497 with it and installed it
But no change, always the blinking screen at power "On"

then i played with the "On - Esc" then "On", waiting up to 5 min between Off and On... Still the blinking screen.
The i tried the opposite with fast cycling "off - on" and bingo got a succes after a dozen tries. I can repeat it.

As a conclusion, i would say that the "On" will work only if the calculator is at a certain state while on sleep mode. Just need some luck to catch that "certain state"...

edit 2: I tried to downgrade the Prime firmware to the 2020-01-16 version as i saw into another thread that it was free of some bugs on the Wait function. But that did not fixed my flickering issue at power on. Even worst i believe as i never was able to power on without the flickering after many trials. So i gave up and went back to the latest firmware version from 2021-12.

Actual status is that my Prime G1 with 2021-12 firmware and newRPL rev 1497 is perfectly useable after some quick "ON-OFF" cycling until it gets out of the flickering state.
I can enjoy and discover that great newRPL application now !
Thanks again to the creator(s) of such amazing tool/toy.

PS: I also ordered a cheap HP39GS from Ali to convert it to newRPL too as the used HP-50G market has become un-reasonable at the moment
