Replaced batteries now i have black screen - Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Calculator

  • kakima Aug 06, 2011

    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?

Check the contrast levels (2nd+Down). If that doesn't work take out the 4 aaa's and set the calculator down and wait for a minute or so (for the power to drain from the capacitors) replace them and check if it worked. If that doesn't work, take out all batteries, including the small watch battery and leave it sit for a minute or so, replace them and check. Finally you can try calling Ti-Cares (1-800-842-2737) they're very helpful.

Imac g4 lcd black screen replaced pram battery

If you can find an older SVGA monitor, try hooking it up to the port on the back of your mac. If you get video then chances are the LCD display is shot.

Screen fully black

Black-Screen/Black-Pixel Fix for TI-Calculator

This will erase all memory and reset defaults.

1. Remove 1 AAA Battery
2. Press and Hold 'ON' for 30 seconds
3. Replace AAA Battery
4. Adjust Contrast to appropriate level

If this fails, try again with ALL Batteries removed including
the backup Lithium Battery.

If all else fails, try the following reset procedure:

1. Remove ALL Batteries (inc. Backup)
2. Let Calculator sit with no batteries for 2~4 hours.
3. Hold 'ON' for 30 seconds.
4. Replace all the batteries (May be good idea to use new batteries
just in case old ones were dead)
5. Turn on Calculator
6. Change Contrast to appropriate level

- Remember to use correct batteries or calculator may not work. The
correct batteries are Alkaline, Rechargable Batteries are TOO WEAK,
Heavy Duty batteries are TOO STRONG.

Screen goes black. :(

My daughter is now going through two replacements for the screen going blank on this model. I'm still having to pay a deductible for a phone that was replaced the first time for the same problem this time. Evidently this is a common problem with this phone.
