  • In this video I go over step by step the process to take if your screen is not turning on a TI-83 TI-84 CE plus silver edition whatever. From restarting to resetting the ram to checking the positive and the negative leads inside the calculator.

    Yep, works. I didn't have access to any solder and the negative terminal was completely oxidised despite giving it a good clean. The next best thing was aluminium foil to help propagate the current. Not much was needed - just enough to cover the damaged terminal. Worked like a charm.

    Thanks for you video bro! I bought this TI84 used and some weeks later it stopped working, I tried everything but thanks god I found you video, so, as no key combination and new batteries changing worked out, had to tear it off, the hardest part was finding a small torx pin, wich I had to sand it to make it fit into the screw holes, I opened the calculator and as you said, there was a solid green layer on the contact metals, so I scratched it off, sanded the contact surface of the tips of the battery box, re assembled it and IT WORKED OUT!!!
    Fixing this by myself, gave me too much happiness!!! Thanks again bro!!!

    This is the best video I've come across while trying to fix my TI 83 plus, but everything has yet to work. Something is wrong with the calculator that can't be fixed, it's not working at all... quite some money down the drain :(

    Holding down DEL and popping one out then putting it back in WORKED FOR ME!
    I changed the batteries, used a bleach wipe to clean off previous battery corrosion, also took the back-up battery out then put it back in, then kept hitting ON and it wouldn't work until this. I have a TI-84 Silver Edition

  • @nicksinghvi9885
    @nicksinghvi9885 6 років тому +4

    Thanks for the video! After checking and double checking the batteries, and trying the DELETE and CLEAR resets without success, I was ready to ditch this thing. But opening the case revealed some scratches on the contacts as you suggested, and a bit of tin foil on each contact did the trick.

  • @palakpandit1051
    @palakpandit1051 5 років тому +2

    I did not know what soldering is and did not even have a soldering iron but cleaning up those golden plates with a dry tissue and bending those little things worked for me. Thanks :)

  • @ttkg30
    @ttkg30 6 років тому +1

    @mediacrash256 5 років тому +2

    Thank you! You saved my bricked TI-84! I didn't actually have to put solder on the contact, I just scrubbed it with vinegar and some alcohol and bent the leads up a little. If it conks out again, now I know how to solder it though.

  • @JohnnyHeesterbeek
    @JohnnyHeesterbeek 7 років тому +1

    Thanks for this very informative video explanation, because this fixed the problem for me.
    However, for those who suffer from the same issue: I noticed that the contacts as mentioned in the video, are also visible trough the holes of the battery compartment. In my case I was lucky to own a voltmeter, and see that the voltage between the battery and this contact just dropped about 3 volts! Using a small and sharp object I was able to move/ clean the contact from outside (so there was no need for me anymore to further disassemble the device). After this, the calculator turned on immediately!
    Hopefully we can keep counting on this thing again ;)

    I bought a cheap ti-84 plus silver edition second hand that was supposed to be no keys working. When it arrived, the ti-84 didn't turn on. So I had to open it apart and guess what... the gold contact for negative was all corroded and some corrosion sand was freee around the shield. I scrapped the negative contact and fortunatelly there was still copper below... so I evded solderting 2 wires for negative and positive and bent the stainless steel upwars and soldered the wires, which allowed me to diagnose further the problem of no keys working. So I cleaned up with a brush the top side and saw that it didnt work, so I needed to take the board out and the key array was clean. I dropped alcohol and cleaned, twice and guess what... keys got back ok. It must have been some short circuit on one of the keys. Cleaned further and reassembled the ti-84 and all fine.

      Check the terminals where the batteries make contact. The calculator might be thinking they are low because they are not getting enough juice from them.

    tired of calculators we are forced to have because of standardized testing being in such shitty quality and at such a high price. It costs texas instruments next to nothing to manufacture these. The reason they cost $100+ new is that we are forced to use them and are not allowed to use their competitors

    @hugosimoes5119 Рік тому

    Ti is just a shameness company that charges lots of money for these cheap looking calculators full of faults.They could have wired better the battery contacts, make the battery pack look like a tank to prevent liquid leak from batts. The screen is just nother issue.... with unglued flat cables when they could have those flat cables with terminals tha hook to hold the cable like those found in laptops for touchpads and keyboards. The key matrix also is another problem. Just a little short circuit prevents other keys from working. These calculators can't stand liquid and gets corroded easily. Casion is no different. They did things well like correctly wiring sturdly the screen but left the board free for battery leaks.
