He changed the batteries. He tried a soft reset (asked about trying to recover memory, but nothing after that). Tried a paperclip into the back reset slot. Any suggestions for this poor device.

(Right now, I'm express mailing him MY HP50G for his exam.)

Two hours after I spend $29 for Priority Mail Express, my son calls to tell me he tried a fresh set of batteries and his calculator is working. The good news is I don't have to try and fix his calculator over Thanksgiving.
