Flickering Display (Spice) while charging ?

[bshoring]

Has anyone seen the display of a Spice Series machine flicker as if running a program if you turned on the calc while charging?

It happened to me last night. I put a completely discharged HP battery pack in and tried charging it. After a few minutes, I turned on the calculator to see if there was any power and the display was flickering like crazy, as if a program was running. Suspecting this might be trouble, I immediately turned it off, disconnected the charger and removed the battery pack. When I replaced it with two standard AA batteries, the calculator worked just fine.

Has this happened to anybody else ?
