Question about Texas Instruments TI-89 Calculator
I dropped my TI-89 from about 3ft only once and now it does not turn on.
3ft is quite high. Something may be broken. Send it to your retailer for servicing

Warning!!! If you do this procedure make sure that your computer and, calculator are connect. Use Ti Connect software and, make sure you can install the OS on the calculator without any interruption. At any time even at the very beginning of this process, if your computer or, calculator gets interrupted or you have a power failure during the installation of the OS, your calculator will be destroyed. So not attempt this procedure during a thunder storm.
You can use the Ti OS Downloader but, you will have no idea what OS is stored by the Ti OS Downloader. So, I suggest following my instructions and, installing the newest Ti 89 Titanium OS 3.10v.
Procedure to installing the newest Ti 89 Titanium OS 3.10v.
You can also get the latest copy of Ti 89 Titanium OS 3.10v by going to the Texas Instruments web site. You can get to that site instantly by clicking, "Ti 89 Titanium OS 3.10v." Once your at the Ti site click the Download Item, Ti 89 Titanium OS 3.10v. Next you can login or, click "continue as guest". I'd would click the "continue as guest". Once you have click, "continue as guest" the Ti 89 Titanium OS 3.10v. will download to you. Click, "SAVE". And then a folder will pop up. It is probably a folder that you download too. If so, you may want to change it and, "Save as" to this folder, "My Documents \ My TI Data \ Downloads". You can also go back and, download the Ti 89 Titanium guidebook too, if needed.
Link your computer and calculator with the USB cable or, Direct Black Link cable that came with the calculator.
Remove one of the AAA batteries. Press and hold the [APPS] key, and while holding the [APPS] key, replace the battery and turn the unit on. On the older TI-89 you should see "Press I to install code...", and you should press the [9] key to continue. But, on your Ti 89 titanium it should say, "Waiting to receive..." or, "Waiting to received OS...". Now you need to follow the instructions in the paragraph below to restore the calculator's operating system.
Next, drag the Ti 89 Titanium OS 3.10v. that you copied earlier to "My Documents \ My TI Data \ Downloads" out of that folder and, drop it in the "Ti Connect" icon on the desktop. Next the OS Downloader Warning will pop-up. Click, "OK" to continue and, the new OS will begin to install. The Ti Device window should pop up and, click on to the port where your Ti 89 Titanium is located, USB1 cable or Direct Black COM1. Just click, "Select" and, the OS will continue to download. Upon completion the newest Ti 89 Titanium OS 3.01v. will be installed.

Hi...I haven't used my Ti-89 in about a year...I put new memory battery and 4 new AAA batteries and it won't turn on. No dropping or any other abuse has be done to it. Please help!!
Just pulled my TI-89 out today after a couple of years, frantically replaced the AAA's and the cr-1616 (watch battery) to no avail. Will not turn on. Changing the display brightness/contrast does nothing.
I had not used my calculator for more than a year and it does not turn on even though i replaced the AAA and the backup batteries please help!!!!
my ti 89 has not been used to much in the past 6 months and no it will seldomly turn on.
Dropped my TI 89 once and now it won't respond at all. Have tried replacing the batteries and changing the display.
not tried anything yet
I didn't use mine over the summer and it won't turn on, i know it is not the batteries tho!
Didn't start Ti-89 for 6 months and it will not turn on now.
I didn't turn my calculator on for about 2 years and even after changing batteries, nothing happens.
