    I was running a program, and shut off my TI-84. It will not turn back on. I pulled all of the batteries, even the little one, just to reset it. It still will not turn on. Yes, I tried new batteries too.

    Calculator will not turn on all at. We have changed the batteries and put in fresh batteries, still the screen stays completely blank.

    My calculator just shut off one day without a low battery message. The AAA batteries had some white residue on them. I cleaned out the residue and replaced all 4 AAA batteries but calculator will not turn on at all. I tried the solutions offered here (remove 1 AAA battery hold "DEL" key while replacing etc) but they did not work.

Try the following

1) Remove one of the AAA batteries, hold down on the DEL key while reinserting the AAA battery. The handheld might display Waiting…Please install calculator software now. Ignore this message. Remove and reinstall one of the AAA batteries again This time, do not hold down the DEL key.
2) Remove one of the AAA batteries, press and hold the [on] key for 10 seconds, release, replace the battery, then turn the unit on. Adjust the contrast.
3) Remove the AAA batteries for three hours. After the three-hour period, reinsert the batteries and turn the handheld on. Adjust the contrast if necessary.

If needed, reinstall OS by downloading the OS from the TI site and ....
On your computer, choose Start, Programs, TI Tools, TI Connect, TI OS Downloader.

It is sold with an dapator that powers the calculator through the USB port. Use it and you will eliminate any doubt about the batteries. Try resetting the calculator.

My calculator wont turn on. Even though i put new batteries in correctly. How can I turn it on? Nothing happens when I press the ON button.

TI calculators have an annoying habit of dimming the screen when the batteries are changed so that it appears as if the calculator isn't turning on. Turn the calculator on (or at least press the ON key). Press and release the 2ND key. Press and hold the Up-arrow key for a few seconds and see whether the screen becomes legible. Does it?

I put new lithium triple aaa batteries in my TI-83. Nothing happened . days later it turned on worked for a little while then stopped. would it help to change the round lithium battery? Do you know what...

The button cell backup battery keeps the memory electrically refreshed when the calculator is turned OFF. The necessary power for regular use is supplied by the 4 AAA batteries (main power). That nothing happened when you put in a fresh set of (expensive) lithium batteries may be due to the screen being too dim to see anything.

If the calculator displays RAM CLEARED each time it is turned on, it may be due to a depleted backup battery. The battery model number is CR1616 or CR1620. On my TI84PLUS the backup battery is of type 303 (Sony) or SR44SW (Maxell).
