In the background there can be seen the HP-33E/C User manual. Chapter "Service and Maintenance AC Line Operation" says: "Note: Do not attempt to operate the calculator from an ac line with the battery pack removed". What the manual doesn't say: This will destroy the circuits inside.

Just Read The Instructions!

As the previous post said, use 2.5 VDC with the correct polarity to the battery posts for testing. If you are lucky the circuit has survived. Otherwise the only repair would be the SPICE LP.

That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind.
