My trusty HP48 GX calculator of 20+ years died on me today. I’ve been using it every day, including today without any problems (except the last time). I pressed the on button, the screen flashes black, and then off. I replaced the batteries, still nothing. I tried the press the bezel trick but that doesn’t work.

Is there anything I can do that doesn’t require replacing parts that may be a quickish fix?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome!

Don't give up, there are some tricks you can do to revive it.

There's a reset button under the one of the rubber feet (I don't remember which one)

Try to short circuit batteries terminals with a paper clip.

And the best one Alessandro already told you, leave it without batteries for one week, more or less.

Good luck, and keep us informed of the results.

Cheers
