HP-41 won't start after new batteries....
Dang. I love this calculator.

I've googled this topic and tried various things except for leaving batteries out overnight. I would appreciate any and all suggestions about getting it to start.

Is it common for '41s to get cranky with age?

Well that's embarrassing. I did not properly orient the batteries.

My apologies!

At least you didn't insert those pesky 6 volt alarm batteries!

By the way, reversing the polarity momentarily, is one of the 'unfreezing' methods of a locked up 41.
