Question about Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Silver Edition Calculator
I changed all the batteries including the coin and still it will not work
TI calculators have an annoying habit of dimming the screen when the batteries are changed. 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.
