My hp 200LX doesn't turn on - BINUBALL - 02-10-2022 03:38 AM

Hello. My 200LX won't turn on suddenly.
Pressing ON key generates high-short beep and does nothinig. What should I do?

I don't have the answer but you could try asking on hpcfactor, which has dedicated forums for hp dos handhelds

Perhaps the users there can offer some suggestions.

Thanks for reply. I've already found the answer.
Changing to the fresh AA battery solved the issue.

Very good failure tree analysis ! ;-)

Fresh batteries can also be key during a firmware update as on my DM15L that crashed and looked dead/bricked the other day during an update ....
