Flakey HP 70: post modified as RAM Chip identified.
Just received an HP 70 with a bad RAM chip.

The calculator basic functions ( - + x / ) which rely on the stack work. The higher functions ( n i PMT PV FV ) and the memories K and M do retain their inputs. The K register does not auto load with a 12 and anything input in the K manually or the M registers are not stored.

Seems to me that the RAM chip runs the stack and runs the financial functions and memories.

Is this correct? If so, then replacing that chip should resurrect this machine.


Cheers, geoff
