HP12C question calculator, question, period, somehow, instead

AnalystForum

Yes on a L3 forum and yes after the exam is over.

My calculator's decimal symbol somehow changed from a period to a comma and the ,000 separator is now a period instead of a comma. I dunno how this happened but its annoying as hell and I want the normal way back.

Anyone?

turn calc off. hold down the decimal point key ( . )

turn calc on.

It's not working...how long to hold it down? I tried up to a minute and it's not changing

cityboy

you don't have to hold long at all...

are you holding the . button while you press the on button?

It should do it automatically - you have to make sure you are pressing on the "." when you turn it on.

It should toggle between 0.0000 and 0,0000 each time you do it.

I hope you are not joking. f RPN should bring you back to the reverse polish notation mode from the ALGebraic calculation mode

I see...so the RPN will be there under normal use (this is new HP12C platinum). and when i check the old hp12c noticed there is no such function (ie ALG or RPN) hence the confusion. thanks

Reset to factory settings:
when HP12C is OFF,
1.Press and hold [ON]
2.Press and hold [-]
3 Release [ON]
4 Release [-]
factory set complete

Check all electrical circuitry is working properly (takes like 3 minutes)
HP12C is OFF,
1.Press and hold [ON]
2.Press and hold [+]
3 Release [ON]
4 Release [+]
If all the lCD screen is filled, then 12C is working.
