HP15C LE Keyboard Survey Take 3 (last round)



#35

All,

So far I have gotten responses for 147 calculators. Of those 18 have been reported as having keyboard problems. So at this moment we have a "failure" rate of 12.24%.

For those that have not responded to this survey and would care to do so please let me know how many HP-15C LE's you have purchased and how many of those (if any) have bad keys. Loose or "rattly" f and g keys don't qualify as bad keys for the purposed of this survey as long as they register correctly when pressed.

So, for example, if you have 3 calcs and 1 is bad please respond with: 3:1.

Thanks to everyone that has responded so far!

Cheers,

-Marwan

Please, keep the survey open until the German lot has been delivered. Ours are hanging around at the customs, probably for another two weeks.

Ok. Only reason I was going to close it was I figured people were getting a little tired of seeing it keep popping up <g>. I'll keep it open (or reopen it) when I see that Europe has their delivery.

Cheers,

LE no 2966 from Samson - no key press issues found yet
Keyboard feel is subjectively slightly better than HP12c from 2007

Above two units received direct from hp in addition to the four reported previously from buy.com. Not all for me, I just seem to be the local distributor at work :-)

#55

My 1 is fine.

#56

0:1 #00135 CNA132091B from Samson Cable

The "2" Key is not working sometimes after a normal press (and click). Works with stronger press. Quite reproduceable, I will sent it back to HP. Just waiting for a signal from Tim Wessman if he wants it for analysis.

#57

I purchased my HP 15C from Samson Cables at the beginning of the month. Limited Edition Number: 02883.

Subtraction function key is intermittent.

I would like to know whom I should contact to resolve this issue.

Take a look at this thread.

Marwan,

I think I may have sent you this information via direct e-mail (so please don't duplicate), but I'll post here for everyone's benefit.

3:1 LE#02173 (good), LE#02196 (good), LE#02198 (bad divide key, doesn't register with a "normal" click, registers with a "forceful" click).

I also got one 12C 30thAE with keyboard OK.

I was able to contact HP calculators support (by phone) and register a case number. If I remember correctly what was said, I am to expect a package from HP with a replacement unit and a box for mailing in the defective unit so they can diagnose.

At least that's what I am expecting.... ;-) I'll let all know what actually happens!

Dale

1:0 - f and g keys are a bit loose, but they do not rattle at all.

[edited to add info about f and g keys]

"." bad key, LEN 02943, CNA 13208K6


#63

Just received my 15C LE. Originally the COS key didn't register with the click, but after a few tries, it now seems to register fine and directly with every click.

So I will say:


1:0


#64

1:1

STO has to be pushed harder to register.


#65

Hi, I received two hp15c LE on 2011-09-28 (ordered at Samson Cables 09-12, shipped 09-19).
CNA13207R6 LE# 01649
CNA13207YJ LE# 02328

Both keyboards are working fine.

2:0.

Thanks to everyone at HP who made the these beautiful machines possible!

1:0 Finally made it here from Samson Cables came in an envelope but is undamaged, even trying really hard I cannot get a key to miss. LE number 01957 coincidentally same as the year I was born.

#68

Two additional units from HP H&HO, LE 878 & 1229. No bad keys, but f,g keys are loose and rattle on 1229, especially g key, which moves noticeably right-left when calc is tilted slightly right-left.
