I have an HP-41CV with a very strange problem. I cannot display A, B, or C in the Alpha register beyond the 6th character.
The characters (A,B,C) are saved, they just cannot be displayed beyond the 6th character. All other characters and even shift
A,B,C work everywhere.
For instance, if I type the following: XXYYZZAABBCCDDEE
AABBCC do not show up until the last C pushes A into the first 6 character positions. As I continue to enter characters,
eventually, AABBCC show up in the first 6 positions.
I thought it was a bad alpha register. But it seems strange that it would only dislike A,B,C and everything else is fine. Wierd!
Anyone have a clue what the problem is?
