HP 50g Graphic Calculator Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 26, 2011

All of the sudden it stopt working. Nothing happens when I push the ON button. I changed batteries. I took the backup battery out and put it back in (didn't put new one). Nothing helps. I changed the backup battery like a year ago. Could it be that it's empty already ?

    Thanks for the reply ! It is actually the calculator of my friend and she doesn't have that adapter anymore... *sigh* I tried connecting the calculator with a normal usb cable (usb to mini usb) but that didn't help also. The adapter that you're talking about is it just a normal usb cable like i used ? I also tried resetting it using the button at the back and the ON + F1 + F3 combination. No luck.

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.

    Thanks for the reply! The adapter you are talking about,is it a normal usb to mini-usb cable because i tried connecting the calculator with that cable to a computer, but nothing happened... I also tried restting it using the button at the back and using the ON + F1 + F3 combination, but no luck.

    The calculator can be used without the main batteries because the adaptaor that was sold with it can power the calculator through its USB port. Other HP calculators with mini USB ports (such as the HP 49G+) imperatively require batteries.
    I believe you should be able to power it through the USB port of a computer: The U in USB means Universal.

    There is a buit in testing procedure you can run. HOLD down the ON key then press the F4 key. Release the F4 key then release the ON key. Several choices are offered. To exit the testing hold down the ON key then press the F3 key. Release the F3 key thaen the ON key. The calculator will restart.

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).

Lenovo Think Pad T61P dead.

Did you try removing the battery pack and then putting it back in? I had disconnected my AC, closed the lid, put it in my backpack and went to the office. The battery light was on when I left but by the time I got to the office it was DOA. After checking the AC at the office I took out the battery pack and put it back in. Voila.

Camera stopped taking pictures

Same thing happened to me a while ago. I was in a panic. I turned it on and off several times...no change. Finally, I turned the camera to the off position, took the battery out of the camera for about 30 seconds and put it back in again and it worked fine. No problem since.

TI-83 Plus Problem

Batteries:
Make sure to replace the "battery backup" too the little lithium ion battery

Try Adjusting contrast:
Hold down "[2nd]" key press up or down arrow repeatedly to lighten or darken contrast.

First attempt reseting:
Step 1: Remove all the batteries
Step 2: Hold "Clear" key down
Step 3: Still holding "Clear" key reinstall batteries
Step 4: Still holding "Clear" key press "On" key until home screen is displayed.

Second shot reseting:
remove all batteries including lithium ion (backup battery), wait 3 hours and reinstall batteries.

Third Shot reseting:
Step 1: Remove a battery
Step 2: Hold down "DEL" key reinstall battery
Step 3: Possible msg pops up saying "Waiting ... Please install software" IGNORE msg and take out battery again
Step 4: Reinstall battery do not hold down "DEL" key

reseting will cause the handheld to loose all of its stored memory.

Hope that helps!
