Hello,
an HP41CV I have has ports 2 and 4 defects. Now I have to decide what to do. Following options come to my mind.. (no hurry; I have a full function HP41CX and a crippled 41CV which dont accept Nov64d but all ports working).
a) further use as it is with Nov64d in Port 1 and HP-IL in Ports 3 (no X-memory, no further modules can be added)
b) repair (I already asked to a shop how much; I expect around 100eur) for ports 2 and 4
c) a full rework with a HL cuircuitry (and port 2 and 4 exchange)
d) keep it as desk calculator without any module (or for youth starting programming)
Any opinion/comment is welcome.
People with experience with port repair or rework to CL are welcome.
