Hello H2X,H2X wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 9:17 amI am actually having a bit of bother which seems related to power. Several months ago I updated my (beta) DM42, and it died after a few days. Replacing the battery helped for another few days, then it died again.
I then put the calculator away, forgot about it for a while, and then updated it a couple of weeks ago (to 3.11), but it still has the same problem. I suspected the batch of batteries I was using and bought a new one from a different brand. I installed it a couple of days ago, and guess what - today my calculator is dead.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Did you get any response from Swissmicros (if you asked one or both) ?
Many thanks in advance,
Thomas

hopefully a completely satisfactory answer. Anything relevant for other owners?

Two capacitors need to be replaced. I am sending them my calculator.
What is the metric tensor in imperial units?

are you searching for the "DM42 Program Encoder & Decoder"?

It would be great if someone could upload a step-by-step video to do the firmware update.grsbanks wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 2:04 pm
This latest update to both the DMCP and DM42/Free42 parts of the DM42's firmware brings the following improvements:
- DMCP-3.12
- Firmware update from FAT - doesn't wait for key press after successful flashing
- RESET+[+] jumps directly to MSC mode (checks for firmware and keymap file and installs them without confirmation)
- Support for reset.bmp (loaded from /reset.bmp)
- (Devel) System keymap support (loaded from /keymap.bin)
- (Testing) "System->Power OFF mode" menu item
- DMY/MDY switch on date setting screen
- DM42-3.12
- Update Free42 core to 2.0.22
- Fixed message font size (earlier followed font size of topmost register)
- Fixed missing pixels (as reported in EEVblog #1159 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ong91Ji3iDk)
I can't even get my PC to recognise the DM42 although I have installed the driver.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try a few different USB cables. Some lack the data lines and are only designed for charging.
