[comp.sys.handhelds] HP repair policy for a HP-41C

gnb@engr.ucf.edu (Glenn Boyer) (04/24/91)

I have a HP-41C, yes it is old.  However, thanks to Eveready it
now has battery corrosion all over the terminal block.  I attempted
to remove the corrosion with H2O2, but the corrosion is under the
plastic.  Experience dictates that this corrosion will creep back.
The corrosion also got onto the main board.  I have the batteries 
and I am going to send it off to Eveready.  However, I am interested
in what HP will do when Eveready sends it to HP for repair.
I am willing to guess they have no parts for 41C's.  So my question
is, what will I get back? A different calculator, or what?
If someone at HP could mail me a response I would appreciate it.
If someone on the net has some answers, please mail me a response.

Thanks
