Hi,
I have a strange error message on my calculator. It stops me even from powering it off. I can’t go off the screen what at the top has black bar and this message. If I take batteries out and again in, it comes to the same screen. I tried to do 2nd+Left+Right+On. Calculator went to reset, and for a short (1-2 seconds was normal and back to the same error message.
Is this repairable or I need a new calculator?
Thanks. |

| Have you tried pulling all the batteries and letting the capacitors drain? I also think there's a way to force the calc into OS receive mode by holding a button while pulling the batteries, but I don't know which one. Anyone else have any ideas? |

| I've had this before with my TI-89, just pull out all of the batteries (including the backup) and keep them out for a little while. It should return to normal. |

| Thanks guys! I tried to take all batteries out, but did not keep it long. I took them out again, and will keep it this way for a couple of days this time. |
