| I was just messing around with my new Nspire, and installed OS 1.1 or whatever. After doing this though, I noticed if I turn off my Nspire with the "off" button, the screen fails to come back on whenever I turn it back on. I know the Nspire is on because it makes a USB noise when connected and I can take a snap shot through my connect software. So then I have to take out the batteries again, and it works, until I push the off button.. then..no more screen. Someone please help me, I am getting very frustrated because I jsut got this today and it's already broken. |

this is normal when you install os1.1 clickpad. you have to take the batteries out every time you want to tur it on. also try the brightness contrast controls |

Ok but I don't wanna. I want my old OS back, but now I can't find anywhere to get it  I just wanted to play some stupid gameboy games. I downloaded Ndless and it didnt work. It just froze at the "connecting to USB" thing and never connected. This sucks. |

This is a well-known bug of newer Nspire calculators when running OS 1.1. The only thing you can do, if you're affected, is to install Ndless (try it multiple times) and use the "reset.tns" program. Prior to turning the calculator off, go to your documents, and pre-select it; this way, when you turn the calculator on, you can just press ENTER and the calculator will reboot, reactivating the screen. |

| that would be cool if I could install ndless, but it just keeps saying "connecting to usb" and never does anything. I tried like 10+ times. Is this a common thing too? |

Are you using computer link 1.4?
If so, downgrade to 1.3. |

2.2 that doesn't sound right, this is TI-nspire Computer Link 1.3 or 1.4
Also when i first installed ndless it stuffed up and i had to re install it a few times before it will work, this is pretty normal according to the ndless review on ticalc.org. anyway it's not worth it that much, because the batteries run out really quickly. I now test ndless on a emulator instead
but first download the right version of computer link here: http://education.ti.com/calculators/downloads/US/Software/Detail?id=6772
also make sure that you have ndless 1.1 (oops there's a new version now) here : http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/426/42626.html
Also once you want to change back what version of OS? you can easily get 2.0 and 2.1 from the education.ti.com website
