I should be shot.
Yes indeed. I should. For screwing around with a school's calculator.
So anyways, I took a school TI-83, and entered in the hex for in A, $D4... and didn't put C9. So it looked like this:
Code:
:DB
:End
:0000
:End
What was I thinking? Don't ask me... Anyways, so I executed it (this is where I should be shot) and it froze (duh). I calmly pulled a battery. Nothing. All of them; same. Held 'On' while doing this, held 'DEL', held both, nothing... *cries*. So now I owe the school $88 (and that's not hex)... unless one of you knows the answer... |

I can't make sense of that sentence. Did you put in the hex for the instruction [font="Courier"]IN A,($D4), or that you put in the hex for the ASCII code for 'A' (which is actually $41). And why does the code box have [font="Courier"]DB

Cash or check?
Eh, bad joke. Maybe remove the tiny battery and add/remove the AAA's rapidly. If 83 has any decent brown-out detect, that should at least reset the processor. That or the graphite trick. |

| wow evil, I remember that kind of joke, but its odd because with me when I tried to run something similar it did ERR:SYNTAX because of the End command, I think its cuz you can only put hex code into on calc asm programs |

| You really shouldn't be able to kill a calculator just by doing some software thing. Tried leaving the batteries out overnight yet? |

Yes, I left the batteries very much out last night, and did what Brazucs suggested... :(
@Sigma, I actually just typed in DB. When I went back to figure out what that command was in an attempt to figure out what I might have done, I accidently looked up the token for End, not Enter ':'... There goes me trying to be smart  ... |

I don't think your screwed just yet......Try this-
Remove the four AAA batteries AND the little backup battery and wait a while.....
Once you've done that put the AAA's back in; when you put the last AAA in be sure to hold down the 'del' key-
In theory this should force your calc to accept a new OS.
Try it a couple of times if it doesn't work the first time  |

| Well, it works now. Actually, it'd been working for about two days now, got it to work awhile ago. Still don't know how. And yes, I did try to make it accept a new OS. No joy. |

Aaah! We need more info!
Were the batteries out of it for long time? I know this didn't fix itself. |

Ok, Ok! I give in to the pressure  . I took the backup battery out too for about 2 days. It worked. Oh, and the contrast was like crazy low when I turned it on. Don't know if you all care though. |
