I have the original TI-85 Graphics Calculator Guidebook (quite thick), but I no longer own the calculator. You are welcome to have it, since I was just about to throw it away. If you want it, please e-mail me at: [email protected] within the next week, as I'd like to get it off my desk. Thanks! -- Sandy

The batteries died, and now when I turn on the calculator the screen is too dark for me to read the numbers. How do I lighten up the screen?

We put new batteries in the TI-85 but the screen is now black and it is very difficult to read.

Adjust the contrast. Turn the calculator on. Press and release the 2nd key. Press and hold the down-arrow for a few seconds key until the screen lightens. Obviously, if you go too far, press and release the 2nd key and then press and hold the up-arrow key.

How do you set the contrast on the TI-85? My

turn the TI-85 on and then hit the yellow "2nd" button and then down arrow. This may take several repeats. If it gets too light hit "2nd" and Up arrow.

I turn on the calculator and the screen just shows me this like big dark box that fills the screen and thats all it does.

After you change battery the screen contrast often changes: it can become too light or too dark (your case).
To lighten screen
  1. Press 2nd key and RELEASE IT.
  2. Press and HOLD the downArrow.
  3. Keep pressing the arrow until the screen is light enough.
