50g

Hi,

tried to switch on my HP50G after some weeks, but nothing happens. I 
changed the batteries (main and backup battery) but the calculator 
seems to be dead.

Some ideas how to reanimate that thing?

Regards, Thorsten

Yes, i did all of these things. Without success... :-(

Try removing the back up battery and the main batteries then hold in the reset button.  Next, clean the battery leads with isopropyl alcohol and  replace with fresh batteries.

Good Luck

Hi,

Some ideas how to reanimate that thing?

This is a longshot...

Used to be that you could let the thing sit in a _warm_ room for about a month,
and they would sometimes "reanimate."

If this question arrived at the list in July, I wouldn't mention it, but it is
winter.

Hi Aliza,

that's it!!
Cleaning the the leads was not nescessary but removing all batteries 
and pushing the reset brought my 50G back to life.
Thanks a million for this great hint.

Regards, Thorsten
