Hi all,
I have one HP35 with "The Bug" and one without. The behavior of the CHS key with the EEX key is different with the buggy HP35 than the other. But I haven't found this difference written up anywhere.
On the buggy HP35, if I enter a number, then EEX, I do NOT see two digits off to the right until I type them in. On the non-buggy HP35 I see two zeros to the right as soon as I hit EEX.
On the buggy HP35 I must hit the CHS key immediately after the EEX key to get a negative exponent. When I do this I get -00 displayed, then I can punch in the actual exponent. But after that the CHS key does not do anything - I can't change the (-) to a (+).
On the non buggy, I can enter the EEX digits and hit CHS at will, reversing the EE sign each time.
Is this known behavior of some HP-35's or related to The Bug? Or is this a different problem?
Thx
