HP41CV auto-off at ~20 seconds - crhea - 10-26-2014 02:03 PM

From what I understand, the 41CV is supposed to auto power-off after 10 minutes of inactivity. I recently picked up a calc on eBay, and after fixing a broken post and cleaning contacts seems to work OK *except* that it will auto-power off after about 20 seconds. I can hit the ON button and it comes back.

Haven't seen anything close to this in my searches...

Ideas?

Just one among many posts on the old forum regarding this problem.
