Hello,
The calculator is out of memory. All you have left is enough ram to hold the content of five digits.You can reset the RAM by pressing [2nd][MEM][7:Reset][1:All Ram][2:Reset][ENTER][ENTER]. Press [CLEAR] to erase "Ram Cleared" message.
If you do not want to reset the whole RAm, you may proceed item by item, as follows.

  1. Press [2nd][MEM][2:Mem Mgmt/Del][1:All]
  2. You will see the list of the 6 lists L1-L6 (should be 12 B each)
  3. You see all apps, each with an sterirsk at the left (archived)
  4. You may also see programs archived or not
  5. Anything else should be deleted.
  6. To delete a non archived item, move the cursor to its line and press [DEL]. It disappears from the list.
  7. Do not remove too many large objets at the same time because the defragmenting of the RAM could hang the calculator.
  8. After removing a few items, press [2nd][Quit] to allow garbage collection, then restart the procedure to delete other objects.
Remember that many third party games and programs stay loaded in Ram even after having been terminated. These are the main culprits.

Hope it helps

How can i drill a hole into my keepsafe wall safe to open it?

Keep the drill motor in the toolbox, you'll likely just ruin the safe.

Go here instead: https://www.sentrysafe.com/CustomerCare/Lost_Your_Combination

There are 3 possible ways to unlock and access
the safe:
1. Factory code
(Found on the first page of the factory guide) You can
always open the safe by entering the pre-set 5-digit
factory code. This code cannot be deleted.
2. User code
If you prefer to employ your own code, you can
program the safe to open using a 5-digit user code
of your choice.
3. User pin
If you wish to give someone else temporary access
to the safe, you can program a 5-digit user pin that
can later be erased.
Programming the user code
NOTE: One (1) user code is allowed.
To add:
1. Press the Prog key , then enter the 5-digit
factory code.
2. Enter the 5-digit user code of your choice.
To delete:
1. Press the Prog key.
2. Enter the 5-digit factory code twice.
Programming user pin
NOTE: One (1) user pin is allowed.
To add:
1. Press the Prog key 2 times.
2. Enter your 5-digit user code.
3. Enter the 5-digit user pin of your choice.
To delete:
1. Press the Prog key 2 times.
2. Enter your 5-digit user code.
3. Enter 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.
NOTE: If your safe does not appear to be working,
please check batteries before calling Sentry
Customer Care.

Black rectangle in the screen and wont change channels

The rectangle is the set or the box if used in the closed caption area is set or TEXT is selected--turn that off.

Won't change channels: up or down? Direct enter a channel with the remote 03 and enter to see if it works that way.

Also need to know if you are using a box for signal.

Resolve the text issue first so you can clearly see the regular screen.

Let me know what happens and what you have tried.

My TI-84 cursor will not allow me to type anything

If the cursor is not allowing you to type anything that means either the calculator available memory is full or that you have exceeded the number of characters in a single command.
Clear calculator memory or just clear all entries (history) or split a complicated command into multiple shorter commands.

I have a tasco 3mp trailcam that i have not used in atleast 2 years can not remember the password please help

To reset the password:

Turn unit on and wait for password prompt
Depress the and hold the enter button until camera switches into 5-digit password mode _ _ _ _ _.

Trail sentry systems will not indicate 5-digit mode on the screen, but will indicate _ _ _ _ instead of HHHH .

Press enter to confirm 5 digit mode

Enter 5-digit code 66214 and press enter button( trail sentry cameras will accept a 5th Digit after the 4th digit is entered in the _ _ _ _ screen.

Camera will now go into operating mode, and user can now program a new password from the setup mode.

I have the same problem this guy had: I have a Sony Cybershot 8.1 megapixels. Every once in a while the screen will turn black when I turn the camera on. The display will come up (shaky hand, flash, etc.)...

The camera either has a stuck aperture inside the lens or a bad CCD sensor.

The aperture is the opening that allows light to enter the lens. If it's stuck closed no light goes in, so no display on the LCD and solid black pictures. The way to fix it is to replace the lens. You can try tapping or banging the camera on it's side on your hand or even gently on a table. This might unstick the aperture for a short time, but it will just stick again later.

If the CCD is bad the sensor won't show anything other than solid black, or sometimes purple/pink smeared lines. Again the solution is to replace the lens assembly, or look for a used CCD online and just switch that out instead.

Hope this helps!

The cursor blinks as a checkered black square and keys don't work

Hi,
The memory of the calculator is ful,l that is why you cannot enter anything anymore. You must clear the RAM of the calculator.
Press [2nd][MEM][7:Reset][1:All Ram][2:Reset][ENTER]. Press CLEAR to clear the Ram Cleared Message.
If that does not work, pull the main batteries out of calculator and leave them out for a while (a few hours). Then reinsert them.

Hope it helps.
Thank you for using FixYa and rating the solution.

Describe how to program channels on lg tv

Very simple -
You will need to find a feature that says 'Auto Tune'

This first will ask you to select between:
1) Regular TV - off air antenna - connection
2) Cable TV - connection
3) DSS TV - Connection

If you aren't ready for digital TV with your antenna or cable you may get very few channels.
