Not fun. An unavoidable part of assembly is the crashing. Some minor glitch in the
program, a logic error, whatever...the end result is the same: ka-boom!

| 1 |
Press [ON]. |
| 2 |
Open the battery case, take a battery, and swivel it on the springy terminal. |
| 3 |
Take out all four batteries and re-insert them. |
| 4 |
Take out all four batteries and the lithium backup—you'll need a small
phillips-head screwdriver (the screw is pretty dang long).
|
| 5 |
Take out everything and let the calculator sit on its face for a couple hours to
let the power drain out. |
| 6 |
Get the reciept and take the calculator back to the store. If they refuse to
exchange, make the best of a bad situation and get a TI-86 or 89 this time. Oh, and
instead of just throwing the thing away, position it on the sidewalk, and have it and a
baseball bat repeatedly attempt to occupy the same co-ordinates in space-time. The
spritzing LCD oil does wonders for that ancient bloodlust. |
