Went to change ribbon - now will not print or feed paper. get an "E" when I try to print. The gears should move by hand but don't. Opened another working unit to compare and now they both don't work. There must be a gear release that became locked on both machines. How do I release it. Thanks

I don't think you'll find parts for this, however I did find a used one, buy it now, for less than $20, shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com/Texas-Instruments-Electronic-Printng-Calculator-TI-5045_W0QQitemZ160148715050QQcmdZViewItem Buying a used unit and either replacing yours or using it for parts is probably your best bet.

Mine did the exact same thing, only when I would multiply or add 5 and 5, when I hit = it showed up 555. I just put it on POWER IC for about 15 minutes. Then hit the clear button at the same time as I turned off the power. When I turned the POWER ON there was no longer an E or the crazy triple digits. Hope yours does the same. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

I have the exact same problem (just happended recently) with my TI-5045 II after 25 years of good service. My solution? I just bought another model: Sharp EL-1801V at Stapels for about $31.00. To get the old one fixed will probably cost me $25.00-30.00 just to diagnose, plus shipping and parts and labor. And that assumes I can find a shop to do it, or that TI still stocks the part(s) gone bad. Same old problem with all technology.

Adding machine worked fine yesterday. Today I have and Error message that has the machine totally locked up. I cannot get it to do anything. Is there a reset button somewhere?
