HP 65 card reader

I have replaced the batteries and fully charged them. When a card is inserted the motor does not start. No noise. The display just blinks 0.00.

Any ideas? I know the gummy wheel needs replacing anyway, but I'd expect it to at least try and read the cards.

Your HP-65 needs a gummy wheel repair job. This happens due to age and regardless of usage and/or "expectations".
