I picked up an HP 48SX that is in cosmetically perfect condition, but when I put a set of batteries in it, it refused to turn on. Iv'e tried the soft resets and the hard reset via the reset hole under the foot, cleaned the battery terminals with an eraser even though they didn't appear to have any issues, but still no luck. Does anyone have any other ideas I can try before trying to open the case?

Yahoo! it was a number 2!! The bad news is it seems to need the pressure over the C key for the keyboard to work properly after it is turned. But hey it's better than nothing at all. Maybe I can figure out a way to make the keys respond all the time now. Thanks for your help!

I've played with it a bit more now that it powers on and it seems that most of the keys are working fine except for the "ON", "B" "C" and "F" keys. I'm beginning to think that something may have been spilled on it. Anybody have a suggestion to fix that issue? And by the way to Allen your sugestion that I am either bored or unemployed, Yes to both. |
