Title: I bricked my calc...
Post by: Raylin on April 14, 2010, 10:45:55 pm

Krolypto v1.4 installed.
Activated password-protected startup.
Turned off calc.
Plugged in USB cord.
Turned on calc.
Forgot about password-protected startup.
Tried transferring a file.
Failed.

RESULT:
Only thing that responds is the [ON] key.
Battery pull doesn't work.
Can't seem to get the backup battery out.

Why can't you get the back-up out? Just in there good or can't get the screw out?

I'm really sorry to hear about this :(

Fixed.
Crisis averted.

REMEDY:
Take out battery and hold [DEL]. Press [ON] a few times. Put battery back in while holding [DEL]. Press [ON] and reinstall OS.

Yay, only a RAM Clear.  That's better than a Bricked Calc. :)
It's too bad you lost stuff, though. =\
Good luck! :)
