RE: HP-80 display problem.
A pull-down resistor on pin 1 seems to solve (or at least mitigate) the problem. Now all I have to do is route it so that the calculator can still be put back together. The fit is a little tight.
The negative battery terminal has finally broken. It was severely corroded and hanging by a thread. I don't quite feel like stealing one from the 2nd 45 I'm fixing, so a kludge may ensue. Until then, AC adapter ho! FWIW, the AC adapter with this thing was putting out half-wave rectified DC for the calculator not to run on. Opened it up and replaced the largest capacitor with a much newer one from my stock. Works fine after that. Following my hunches seems to be working these days. Must be time to buy a lottery ticket, except that luck is conserved. Reassembled calculator. Keys need cleaning; looks dirty next to the 45. |
