Title: My Calculater is'nt coming up on my computer
Post by: saintrunner on October 31, 2011, 07:49:42 pm

I still have TiConnect installed and I've tried like 6 different cables, but my ti84 plus calculator just wont come up. It is still seen as an unknown device. What do I need to do?

Is it turned on?
maybe RAM clear, reboot computer, battery change?

It doesnt connect properly, I want more archive and RAM space, and so on.

With connecting: do you have the latest OS?
Archive and RAM space are same on all 84+s, so buying a new one wouldn't solve that.
Unless you bought a SE, it has a lot more Archive on it.

Should I upgrade to the SE?

In my opinion: yes, if you have the money. :)
(but that's just my opinion)

What is the price for one?

Like around $110. Depends on where you are and what store you go to. If there's a WalMart that would probably be the best price.

I have trouble with my 84+SE too.
I just garbage collect and clear Sabrina's ram and she is fine.
 (and turn off zstart, mathprint, and doors)

Usually Garbage Collect can fix some TI-Connect troubles. Not all the time, though. Usually for me TI-Connect will detect my calc, then another day it won't. It seems random and any existing TI calc will do that.

I know switching to TiLP can solve some of these issues ( although you trade them for others ).
Usually a garbage collect/ram clear is what is needed. Sometimes rebooting your computer will also help.
