I turbo'd like 75 calculators and for some reason, in 4 of them, something
went wrong, and now they go through through brand new batteries in about 6
hours (with or without the calculator on). I've tried no capacitor and a
33pf, and to the best of my knowlage there's nothing else wrong with them.
Every now and then I get one to stop draining batteries for a day or two (by
re-soldering everything), but after that they start draining again. Any
ideas? =)
