How to Download Games on a TI-84 Plus CE - CalcPlex

If you accidentally hit the Clear button on your TI-84 CE Plus calculator and your formulas were deleted, there is a chance that they can be restored, depending on how the calculator's memory works. Here are a few options:

1. Memory Backup: Some TI-84 Plus CE models have a memory backup feature that saves your data even if the battery is removed. If your calculator has this feature, you may be able to restore the formulas by simply replacing the batteries.
2. Memory Dump: Some calculators have the ability to dump the memory of the calculator onto a computer. You could try searching on the internet for a memory dump for your specific calculator model.
3. Backup and Restore: If you have a computer with TI-Connect software you can backup and restore the data on your calculator. Make sure your calculator is connected to the computer, open TI-Connect software and select the appropriate options to Backup and Restore the data.
4. Try a recovery software: There are some data recovery software available for the calculator, however, they might not be able to recover deleted formulas specifically.

It is important to note that these options may not guarantee the recovery of your formulas, but they may be worth trying before giving up. It is also important to make sure you backup your data regularly to prevent losing it again in the future.

If you cannot download, that is because the calculator is not connected correctly or the correct drivers are not installed. If TI connect is able to recognize your calculator you will be able to transfer to and from the calculator. Try connecting through the IO port with the TI USB Silver cable. When all connections are correct and calculator is recognized there may still be a problem tranferring files if the batteries are too weak.

The Finance App is part of the Operating system. You cannot get rid of it. The other Applications can be deleted from Archive Memory.
To restore them:

1. Download them from education.ti.com
2. Connect calculator to computer
3. Run TI Connect.
4. Drag and Drop an App onto the TI connect Main window
5. The App should transfer to calculator
6. After transferring one or two Apps, Press [2nd][MODE] to (QUIT) and let the calculator defragment the memory.
7. Transfer one or two more Apps.

Here is the link to the latest software page for the TI83/84 Plus software.

I would suggest putting it in some dry rice. That will soak up all the moisture. You might also try drying it with a hair dryer.

If you connect it to the computer using ti connect device explorer you can try to do everything from there. Manage your memory. If you saying the plus sign is broke too, because it is the memory key too. I wonder if you "+">a would work. Just 2nd recall "a" when you need the plus sign. You can store it in any variable you want. Setting up systems to operate your calculator's memory management can be done on command or Entry Line. Much easier with Ti connect. You don't really need the plus sign or memory key to run very good memory management programs. Just remember to download from this site my ti 84 plus silver manual on how unarchive and run programs. I really don't recommend taking the calculator apart, they usually end up broke at that point.

"How can i delete this program without using memory?"

By that I am assuming the memory key on the TI, the only other way to remove applications is through the TI connect software which will require the use of a USB cable in the case of the TI-84.

TI connect will also let you backup anything important you may have on your calc. Good Luck:

Download TI Connect

You put your calculator in a pot of boiling water and than go to the dollar store. At the dollar store you need to buy a bag of Doritios. Once you have the Doritios, climb the nearest tree and consume them. One more thing- you're welcome :-).
