Type 10 (you don't have to press ENTER). <== Pressed "1" and "0"
Press and hold down ON. <== OK, did that. Display is blank.
Press the top left key exactly twice while still holding ON down. <== Pressed the "n" key twice
Release ON (see 0E10 in the display). <== Display is still blank.
Press 1/X --> crash <== Display is still blank.

My HP 12c Platinum 25th Anniversary Edition, courtesy of HHC 2006, responds as shown above - the first "Press and hold down ON" appears to turn it off and the subsequent steps do nothing to a sleeping calculator. Interesting...

Joe, weren't you at HHC2006? You should have one of these as well and can confirm if mine is goofy or not.
