Buttons don't work...

When i turn on my calculator, it displays the negative sign and the blinking cursor, but the buttons don't do anything. I cant even turn it off except by taking the batteries out. It is a TI-83 plus and it is less than 6 months old. i have used many TI's in the past and have never seen this problem.

That means that you know your calc crashed. This can be caused by taking out the batteries durring running time, happened just randomly. Well nothing to fear just press clear and it should go away but if it stays on that screen you have problems and is best to try some of these methods. Take out all the bateries and press and hold the on button for 30 seconds. Put the batteries back in and it should have reset. Warning you should archive everything incase this happens. To archive go to 2nd mem and hit enter to put a astrick next to the app (meaning archived)

I'm not specifically familiar with the TI83 or TI84 but I've used a lot of TI calculators in my time, so I'll give it a try. If your trying to find the antilog of a number in base 10 enter the number and hit the (10 to the X) button. If you're trying to find the antilog of a number in in base e (natural log), enter the number and hit the (e to the X) button.

Why is my calculator frozen?

Is the cursor checkered? If so, there is no more space on the entry line. Use the DEL key to shorten it or clear it. Clear the RAM also.

Hi I'm trying to find the reciprocal sign on my Casio fx-300es

If you mean "1-over-x" then it's the key marked "x-superscript-negative-one" just right and below the big round cursor pad. If you mean "reciprocal sign" more commonly referred to as "negative" or "change-sign" then it's the key marked "(-)" two keys above the "7" key.

My calculator is completely non responsive. When I hit the on button, the calculator cursor comes up but does not blink or allow me to type anything in. I have to hold the on button to keep the cursor...

It sounds as if the batteries are dead. If you are having to hold the power button on to keep the cursor on the screen, that is because the batteries only have enough power to flash a cursor, holding the power key means that the flash is constant. Try changing the batteries, this should solve the problem.

How do you write fractions on the TI-nspire CAS calculator?

  1. With the original click pad, you press [CTRL][division sign ].
  2. A fraction template is displayed, with the cursor blinking in the upper rectangle of the template.
  3. Enter the numerator, then use the Down-Arrow key to move cursor to the lower rectangle.
  4. Enter the value of the denominator and press [ENTER].
  5. The fraction that will be displayed is the irreducible form equivalent to the one you entered.

The cursor blinks as a checkered black square and keys don't work

Hi,
The memory of the calculator is ful,l that is why you cannot enter anything anymore. You must clear the RAM of the calculator.
Press [2nd][MEM][7:Reset][1:All Ram][2:Reset][ENTER]. Press CLEAR to clear the Ram Cleared Message.
If that does not work, pull the main batteries out of calculator and leave them out for a while (a few hours). Then reinsert them.

Hope it helps.
Thank you for using FixYa and rating the solution.

To the power of a negative

Hello,
Use the small (-) sign sometimes labelled [(-)] or [+/-] and put the whole exponent netween parentheses 18 [y to the x] [(] [(-)] 3 [)] . On some calculators you enter the small - signe after the value of exponent,
18 [y t x] 3 (-) [Enter] should give you 1.7146E-4
In summary the small minus sign; the whole negative exponent between parentheses.
Hope it helps.

Ti84 plus, screen problem

  1. Press and release the gold [2nd] button. Verify that the blinking up arrow appears in the display.
  2. Press and hold the blue up or down arrow key to increase or decrease contrast, until the display is to your liking. Be alert: the display will change quickly.
The calculator will remember your contrast setting; you don’t have to adjust it every time you turn the calculator on.
