I haven't used my ti-85 since college (almost 10 years now...wow I'm getting old). I couldn't get it to turn on, so i replaced all the AAAs and the back-up battery. I'm still getting nothing when I try to turn it on. My wife has a TI-83 that we use around the house frequently, so I'm not as totally clueless as you might expect. I've tried turning it on and darkening the screen using the 2nd function button and the up arrow key...nothing. One of the contact plates for the positive end of one of the AAAs is missing. There is still a metal spring/lead underneath where the plate should be. The battery contacts this spring/lead. Is that my problem? If so, do you have a suggestion for getting it fixed without having to send the calculator off to TI?
I'm wait for the solution please!

That is perfectly normal, almost all of TIs graphics calculators have it.

This worked for me, you just take out the batteries and let it power down for a few mintues, and bam when you turn it on again, its fine.

Remove all of the batteries including the round lithium battery for 5 minutes. After the 5 minute
period, reinsert all of the batteries and turn the calculator on. Adjust the contrast if necessary.
Just keep trying. Sometimes they can be a pain.

I've had my ti85 probably since highschool or college. I don't remember. I've used it within the past few months. The screen had been a bit dim, even after turning the contrast up. I figured it just needed new batteries. I put new batteries in today and the thing won't even turn on. Tried the reset and nothing.
Yes, I have a TI-85 that also will not turn on . I replaced the AAA batteries but did not replace the back-up battery. Any help getting this calculator to work would be appreciated.
Thank You

I'm having the same problem. The calculator was working Friday, but very dim. So I replaced the AAA batteries, and then the calculator wouldn't turn on. I just replaced the CR1616 and still nothing. I'm at a loss as to why it was working 2 days ago and now it's not. :(
Ichanged all 4 AAA batteries and the back up battery and the TI-85 will not power up.
Any solution is appreciated.
i used the clear memory function and it won;t turn on now
I have the same problem, I changed the batteries now no power on for me.
