HP-48SX ON Key

[BillBee]

If pushing gently under the display causes the "on" button to work it is probably the foam strip under the ribbon connector. From what I have read a common issue for many models. If you are lucky you can just use the "pressure method" to turn it off/on (until it stops all together).

A friend had this issue with his 48s and while daunting it can be done. IIRC there are a few people who can repair it here if it is the foam strip.

There are a bunch of threads here on it too - taking it apart and reassembly. The 48g is the same procedure so check those threads too.
