I found my old voyage 200 from college and attempted to turn it on. I haven't used this thing in 2 years. After replacing the AA batteries it would not turn on, even when I replaced the 3V battery it's still blank. I'm gonna tear this thing apart and try to clean the contacts. Any suggestions?
-   I am in the same boat. I haven't used mine in about 2yrs pressed on....nothing....replace the batteries....nothing....i'm am despirate as i'm in a ton of engineering courses and can't really function without it or afford another one. -   cra-z-ups
I've fixed my Voyage 200!! I fixed it using the 3rd solution listed below. I've placed them all in there in case the one I used din't work. The funny thing is the solutions listed weren't even for the Voyage 200. I mistakenly tried the wrong one, but it worked!! I've also posted some soultions listed for the Voyage 200 just incase the others don't work and the website I found these solutions can be found here. Good Luck!!
Try a new set of batteries (including the backup battery).
Adjust the contrast by pressing and releasing the [2nd] key followed by pressing and releasing the up arrow; repeat as necessary. To adjust or lighten the display, use the down arrow.
Remove one of the AAA batteries. Press and hold the CLEAR key. While holding CLEAR, reinsert the AAA battery and then turn the calculator on. The calculator should display the message "RAM Cleared". Release the CLEAR key and then press it one more time to remove the message.(worked for me!! Never actually said "Ram Cleared" just had a long box across the screen that filled up and POOF it was back!!)
Remove one of the AAA batteries. Press and hold the DEL key. While holding DEL, reinsert the AAA battery and then turn the calculator on. The calculator should display "Waiting...Please install calculator software now". Follow the instructions for the TI-83 family or TI-84 Plus family to reinstall the calculator operating system.
Remove all of the batteries including the round lithium battery for 5 minutes. After the 5 minute period, reinsert all of the batteries and turn the calculator on. Adjust the contrast if necessary.
Voyage Solutions:
For the TI-89 Family, TI-92 Family, and Voyage™ 200:
Try a new set of batteries (including the backup battery).
Adjust the contrast by pressing and releasing the Diamond Key key followed by pressing and releasing the [+] key; repeat as necessary. To adjust or lighten the display, use the [-] key.
Users of the TI-89 Titanium or Voyage 200 should see the following case before performing the following reset procedure to prevent the loss of valuable Apps. On the TI-92 family or Voyage 200, hold the [2nd] key and the [hand] key, then press and release the [on] key. On the TI-89 family, press and hold the [2nd] key, left arrow, and right arrow; then press and release the [on] key. This should reinitialize the operating system, in which you should see a progress bar filling on the screen.
Remove one of the AAA or AA batteries. Press and hold the [APPS] key, and while holding the [APPS] key, replace the battery and turn the unit on. TI-89, 92 Plus, or Voyage 200 users should see "Press I to install code...", and should press the [9] key. The calculator should then say, "Waiting to receive...". TI-89 Titanium users should see "Waiting to receive..." or "Waiting to received OS...". You will need to restore the calculator's operating system.

TI Voyage 200 Calculator: Blank vertical lines are appearing on the screen. The solution to this problem for Franki_01: Where is the electrolytic capacitor? Among U3 & U4 not see it. http://www.datamath.org/Graphing/JPEG_Voyage200_A.htm#row ****************** Solution for Frankie_01: Hi, and sorry for my english ! Maybe the LCD driver voltage is wrong or noisy. I had the same problem: some vertical lines (not constant), pulsing contrast after powerup, pixel crosstalk, sometimes no screen Solution: Try to replace the LCD power negative voltage buffer capacitor. In my hardware version it is in the middle of the two T6B07 column driver IC (U3&U4) on the right side. Colored black, electrolytic type and the Value is : 10uF/25V. Chage it to around the same type. There is enought space, so you can use a small sized non smd type capacitor. Be care of the polarity. I hope it will help... ;) Greetings from Hungary! ********************** Thanks and best regards

How do I create a program in the program editor that does the same as the Solve, when I have the following x(n+1)=sin(x(n))+1.54*x^0.6? To solve this without using solve we iterate the function to know the value of x so that x(n+1) = x(n) by saying that 0

When I press the "On" Button, the calculator screen becomes black for a
very short time and then becomes white. There is nothing I can do
except pressing "2nd"+"On" (Off) or resetting the calculator
("Hand"+"2nd"+"On"). The reset makes the screen blink like the "power
on". The "hard reset" (remove all the batteries) also doesn't help.
The screen seems to work because the white that I can see if the Voyage
200 is turned off is not the same as the white when it's turned on
(it's a bit darker). The keyboard also seems to be ok (reset works).
Perhaps the connection between the board and the screen is the problem.
