- For those suffering from failing HP48 LCD's, the following "official"
- posting about it from HP's BBS sysop is the final word. Due to its
- importance, it was included on Goodies Disk #7, in the POSTINGS
- subdirectory. Hope it helps. -jkh-

- I checked with the Hardware folks, and here is the scoop:
-
- There was a specific problem that may or may not occur in a limited
- production of units. The problem has been isolated to the LCD and
- has been resolved with the vendor. The potentially defective LCD's
- were installed in HP 48's with serial numbers ranging 3013AXXXXX thru
- 3044AXXXXX. Symptoms of the problem are a pronounced black spot in the
- upper left hand corner of the display and/or dark/missing columns
- 3,5,7 and/or 9.
-
- If a unit is failing for the above reasons, subject to
- verification by the Corvallis Service Center, it will be covered as
- part of the standard warranty, even if the standard warranty period
- has expired.
