If it still behaves strangely you can start troubleshooting. With old battery packs you never know: It could be contact problems or a dying battery cell. Good luck Max NB: And your story is yet another reminder to never run these old calculators from a wall charger, even the models which have some degree of overvoltage protection like the HP-35. I put all my chargers in a big box long time ago (with a little label on each of them showing the serial number of the calculator it belongs to) and run the calculators either from a laboratory power supply or externally charged batteries. |
