HP41CV never forgets?

[Visu]

Just repaired yesterday a colleague's 41CV that was supposed to be dead.

First try was to put the batteries on the right order - not successful.

Rubbed the pads, unscrewed the case, and how unsurprisingly noticed that one of the notches (one of these embracing the bacon connector) was broken. Superglued it, reassembled the whole thing and bingo, was alive again.

What suprised me is that after all these years (more than 10 according to the colleague) "USER" was turned on, european number format and f CAT 1 showed a bunch of programs that must have been written years ago.

Yes, it's not a "C" for nothing !
