Too bad... no mention of fixing keyboard problems.

it works flawlessly, there are no more key misses. Update your HP's now!!!!!!!!! You |HP is very hungry for this |*Filet Mignon* or *Ribeye Steak|* quality upgrade.

This is outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi; this is to acknoledge.
From the HP page: Quote: I downloaded it and gonna update it soon. Mainly because of the three last features. Thanks, Thomas! Luiz (Brazil)

Mine misses keystrokes just as much as before. If I type normally,
To me, it's still not fit for real work; it's just a nifty toy. Are they ever going to fix the defective keyboard?
But some of the other fixes in the upgrade are very nice. Anyone

For what it's worth, the sticker on the back of my HP is CNA42800648 When I type VERSION I receive upon 2 stacks...
Stack #1: Copyright HP 2003 (yes, it says 2003) Could you post your serial number and type VERSION? I'm just interested. Oh, and speaking of a toy... I just put on a chess program onto my 49g+. Fun.

VERSION should really identify the *newly* uploaded ROM. Looks like you found the VERSION amnesia bug<G>!... testing here shows I can only cause this by re-loading hp49g123.bin, after loading the new 49Gp_50.bin ... the instructions mistakenly refer to the hp49g123 - but with the new one I do get the new VERSION.

Hi, J.C.; according to Tony, mine reads: 2: "Version HP49-CThe serail number is inprinted (heat, no sticker) in the back: CN40203xxx. I agree with James: the additional features worth giving it a try. One thing I observed: with the earlier 1.23 ROM, the HP49G+ used to wake up immediately after pressing the [ON] key. Now it takes some time to get ready, something between ½ to 1 second. Cheers. Luiz (Brazil)

It didn't fix it for me. It's hard to say whether it's better than it was with the old ROM. It's still missing key strokes often enough to be very annoying.
05-08-2005, 01:32 AM
You don't have the new ROM on if you got that message. Are you 100% sure its installed correctly? When you plot something, is the whole screen used for the plot? It looks to me like people are really hoping for a solution to the keyboard problem, and often announce 'cures' that really don't help. See the fifty+ posts on comp.sys.hp48 saying that 'keytime' fixes it, or that overclocking fixes it, or that wiggling the keys fixes it, etc. .

Interesting, I did not find the upgrade going the www.hp.com route, so I used your link instead. I am downloading the update now. If this update works (which I'm confident it does), I'll be updating my two 49s. Thanks!
05-08-2005, 12:09 PM
Good news! Thanks
05-08-2005, 12:45 PM
... I have no regrets. I'd not tell you 'Buy it!', but if you have the chance to use one and read the related papers (User's Guide guides to the living hall, only) available at hpcalc.org, then you'd be given a better idea. Mine also has a 256MByte SD card. I didn't need to used it yet... Um abraço, Gerson! Luiz (Brazil)

The update worked fine in my calculator once I reached the download site (that took some time). Now, does anybody know anything about the added HP equation library?
05-09-2005, 12:07 PM
The equation library is the same as the one that was in the hp48G. Arnaud

Thanks, will go exploring....

James, you usually have quite comprehensive replies but I jus wanted to check. Arnaud
