Title: Error Link
Post by: ztrumpet on February 12, 2010, 10:38:30 pm

I just got an Error link.  The screen looked like this:
(the top line is inverted, # is where cursor started)
ERR: LINK
1:Quit #
2:Goto

Once I moved the cursor, it acted like a normal cursor during errors.  After I tried both options, it brought me back to 1,1 on the homescreen.  This error occurred as I turned my calc on-The calc froze for about a second and then gave this error.  I was using my 83+se.  I gave it a RAM clear, but the error didn't go away.  I then backed up everthing and gave it a MEM Clear.  The error is now gone.  Does anyone know what happened?  Has this happened to anyone before?  Thanks! :D

It hasn't happened to me...what does error link mean?
Sounds like a random issue with the os.

mhmm not sure, I might have got this error before, but like once or twice on my 83+SE. I don't remember how it was triggered, though, as it was 6-7 years ago

I have gotten this error when playing around with omnicalc's linking functionality, but it only happened when I tried to link to a regular 83 and got a bad connection.  Then there was a ba crash and I started gettin the error whenever I turned on my calc, even RAM resets didn't fix it O.O but for some reason a garbage collect did.  I never saw it again...

EDIT: it seems the error isn't documented over at TiBD either O.O

This is a really strange error. I've never had this occur on my 83+SE. Had you run any assembly programs on it recently?

The funny thing is, I hadn't ran any asm programs in the last 2 times I had turned my calc on.  It was just after I finished Illusiat 11, but I'm sure it is not to blame.  Illusiat 11 unarchives and archives one pic each time you load a save file, so it might have been that but I doubt it.  Hmm.

could be something related to archive/unarchive. The 83+SE is prone to get weird errors, though. You are lucky you didn't lost progress on Elmgon yet due to a ERR:BAD ADDRESS

I've encountered that before O.O When i tried ungrouping a bad group on my calc I got negative RAM and then huge strings the must have been seeping into Asm only RAM, then when i tried deleting them I got BAD ADDRESS D:  I was able to fix it by just ungrouping it on my comp and then sending the files individually though.

wow negative RAM? Didn't got that before XD

I often ended up with zero, tho :P

Negative Ram?!?  Wow.  Did the cursor flash, like when you have zero RAM?

DJ, I think I've gotten Bad Address, but I've backed up everything on the comp, and then deleted/mem cleared.  Then I put the files back on my calc.
