RE: When does the Y2K38 bug happen to the HP Prime?
Thanks for that information! It gave me an idea, since the date starts at 2000, what happens if I go backwards? That's how I found a better way to find the roll over time, if you change the date to Dec 31 1999, it rolls over to 2136! After some trial and error, I found the exact time that the bug occurs:

06:28:15 AM
02/07/2136
(Feb 7 2136)

As you can see, instead of rolling over to the year 2000, the clock just stops and refuses to count any farther. Nothing else was effected though, it can still do operations, the TICKS command still works properly, I couldn't find any broken programs or apps.

If you want to try this, you may need to set the time a few minutes earlier, sometimes it bugs out and rolls over the time if you set it exactly at the bugged date.
