I have a problem with my HP41 CV.  The "ON" button had been flaky for
some time and now no longer works.  Thinking it was a dirty contact,
I opened it up.  It appears that there is no way to fix it short of
replacing the whole keypad.  HP's standard repair cost for the HP41 CV
is $77 - over half the cost of what I could get a new one for.

Does anyone know of a cheaper way to fix this problem?  Perhaps the
keypad can be fixed or a replacement keypad can be purchased.

Thanks,
