I HAVE A HP-41CV WITH CARD READER. THE DISPLAY WHEN LOOKING HEAD ON IS LOW AND HARD TO READ, YET LOOKING AT A SLIGHT ANGLE IT IS BRIGHT AND CLEAR. IS THERE A REPAIR THAT CAN BE DONE? IF SO WHERE CAN I SEND TO BE REPAIRED? WHAT WOULD BE CAUSING THIS?

If you mean you have to look at it from the side, I've never heard of that one. If you just mean you have to look at it from a low angle from the front, it sounds like the LCD backplane voltage is messed up, which although I think can be set on a halfnut in M-code, may be from a bad connection in your case. I've heard nothing but good about fixthatcalc.com . I don't have any experience with them, but they sound great.

I have loved the 41cv and cvx since shortly after they were introduced. I dropped my last working one of 4 and it stopped too. Does anyone out there have one or two for sale.

Edwardgbennett, fixthatcalc.com works wonders. I hope you didn't get rid of your non-op 41's, because I'm sure fixthatcalc.com can get all of them going again. Actually, that info is from reading many times of others' experience. My own 23-year-old 41cx has never had a problem and I use it every day.

Nice to know that someone still do service one the HP calc...
There are plenty of HP-41 on the ebay for those who like to get one.
