[plug] [OT] Recovering data from an HP 38G

[BDLima]

In order to get to the data you need to access the notepad ... including to
back it up.  It is possible she has filled it up to max and that is what is
causing the lock ups.  Try accessing the aplet library instead.  If you can
get to this, back up an aplet she needs or delete one she doesn't.  Then try
accessing the note pad.  Worth a shot and my only suggestion.  Haven't had a
calculator lock up on me, especially not my HP!!

Good Luck to you on the calculator issue and to your sis in her exams!!

Hi folks, sorry for the OT post...

My sister has a chemistry exam in 3 days, and her graphical calculater
has died on her. It's got all her notes on it and she's as stressed out
as a kid can get. The problem is that she can't access the 'notepad' on
her HP38G. When she tries it locks up.

Now, apparently these things can be backed up to a pc - do you folks
know anything about recovering lost data from one of these
things? I know it's a long shot, but thanks for any info.

Cheers.
