One thing to note, is when the keyboard springs fail,
the button feels dead, but can get stuck in a depressed
position, which bothers the power on self test.
If you have any dead keys, fix them first.

I bought an HP3596B off EBay.
I have a service manual on order.
First thing I did was remove the leaky battery and thoroughly clean the PS board.
It looks good, however if I look down to the edge connector inside the unit I can see it has the blue
buildup on it from the battery leak. I'll save that until I disassemble to clean and lube the switches.
At power up the self calibration comes back with CE-F.
One poster suggested I put in Recall, Decimal point, Center Frequency ,8, when I do it comes back with
Fail 1 0.
Anyone have info on what the error codes denote?
Thanks, Lamont
