Turn calculator on and measure current consumption (A)
A is 42.3 mA for me. (Actually, the first time I apply power from the lab power supply the calculator turns on and draws a current of just over 80 mA. Turning the calculator off and on from the keyboard causes the current to drop to 42.3 mA.)

No change: B = A.

<< #05600014h 4 POKE >>
A brief increase in current of between 3 to 4 mA; current quickly falls back to previous value. The multimeter I'm using takes about 2 readings per second, so I can't give you an exact value for the maximum value of this current pulse.

<< 1 1000 START #05600014H DUP PEEK 4 BXOR POKE NEXT >>

Let me know the current values.
This made a musical buzzing sound; the current rose to about 46 mA while the program was running, and then it returned to its original value.

I suspect this information is mostly negative, but perhaps it will help to rule out a possible cause of the problem.
