HP-29C now has dots across the display...

I'm not sure why all the DP LEDs would light in the HP-29C. Maybe the offending voltage was messing with the ACT which gets its low power indication from the power monitor IC.

Thanks Tony! Sorry for my poor advice above, I clearly mix up my Woodstocks! I will let my 21 and 27 get low enough to see the dots, but my 29C always has either no batteries or full batteries installed. After surviving a heart (ACT) transplant, I treat my 29C very gently...
