Hi,

My TI-84 plus silver edition is currently unresponsive. It can be turned on and the cursor blinks, however no buttons are responsive.
I have tried removing batteries etc, installed the latest OS using a computer and the “RAM cleared” message pops up but then goes back to the blinking cursor.

Any ideas?
You have something stuck in the link port -- or one of the calculator keys is depressed.

If what Mateo said is true, the cursor should be blinking more slowly, and keeping a key pressed for a few seconds (like 4) should still register it.

I think this might be the case. The 2nd function does keep popping up on the cursor. The last time I used it a couple of weeks ago, I vaguely remember the 2nd function randomly coming on.

What would you recommend? Taking the back off and having a look?
You could also try taking off the faceplate if your TI-84 Plus SE has one, and seeing if it looks like the second key is stuck down somehow.
