- I have had the same problem (only once) with a relatively new HP48-E (I had to
- buy it to replace the one that was stolen :( ). I got the calc about four
- weeks ago, and had to reset it because someone (jerk) took out my memory
- card. Anyway, I resetted it and said yes to the memory clear message, and
- waited almost an HOUR before trying to do ON-C. That didn't work, so I tried
- ON-A-F again, which didn't work. So, I tried the reset in the back of the
- calculator, and that didn't work. I took out the batteries, and the display
- sort of faded away slowly. Really strange. The when I put them back in,
- the display had an hourglass and a single horizontal line somewhere in the
- middle of the screen. I finally took out the batteries for about a minute,
- and then it was OK. Luckily I had recently backed up the RAM so I didn't lose
- much, but it was distressing. I would be most appreciative to hear if anyone
- else has had such a problem...

- Thanks,
