Of course, hpnut.
I was trying to repair the hp-27 of my dear friend. No display but good tensions from the DC-DC inverter and a current drain of 110 mA.
How you can read in the article of Katie about the issues of Woodstock's series calculator, I have cut the SYNC trace from the ACT to the rest of the calculator and insert one resistor (32KOhm, 1/4W, 5%) that has resurrected the little beauty, so far. My first attempt has been with a 20 KOhm resistor but with value of resistor the 27 needed 3 or 4 minuts to warm up properly.
It's all, I'll be available for any further information.
Regards from Italy.
