Basically, my calculator seems to be broken. I installed a couple games on it such as Oiram and played for an hour or 2. My RAM was not full at the time, so the problem doesn't seem to be cause by a RAM issue. Then, my calculator turned off. When I press the on button, it turns on, BUT only for a fraction of a second, which isn't enough to load in the menus. Essentially, it flashes white when I turn it on. This means I am unable to go in and reset it, and I tried taking out the battery and holding Del on the calculator. Even when the battery gets put back in, it still flashes white. It doesn't register in TI Connect, so I'm worried there's permanent damage. Any thoughts?

Hold [2nd]+[del] and press the reset button on the back. You can then redownload the OS from TI's website Hope this helps, and welcome!

Didn't work
It still just flashes when I turn it on.

Hold [2nd]+[del] while you press the reset button rather; if that makes sense? It most certainly will work

I did that, yet it still just flashes. It shows no sign of resetting, such as the ram cleared message.
I'm pretty sure it's dead.

It is not dead; please don't assume that as that would be incorrect First, press [2nd]. While pressing [2nd], press [del]. While both of them are held, press the tiny reset button in the back of the calc. Keep the two buttons held the whole time. Then release the reset button. Please follow exactly and it will be fine

I've tried this before, and it has reset. I do know how to do it, but it doesn't seem to work this time. I do understand which buttons to press, but it's not having any effect. :/ Do you know any alternative methods such as using TI Connect or something with the calculator? The standard reset procedure doesn't work this time (for me). I'm sorry that i'm giving you trouble about this, but I really want my calculator to work again.

Edit: NEVER MIND IT WAS JUST OUT OF BATTERY OOPS

sorry for giving you so much trouble

Congratulations for getting it working again.... batteries do tend to run out
Just so you know, please do not double post... instead edit and add to the first post if you're going to post twice in a 24 hour period on the same thread. Thanks!

Haha right, that would do it too Congratulations on getting it working again! Sometimes it is the darndest things :

It's easy to forget that it runs on batteries. Those batteries last ages!
