Should I buy a new TI??
« on: September 25, 2011, 05:50:35 am »
I have no idea what I should make with my TI 84+, now!!
nothing is working anymore!!
a few examples:


when I open the app-menu and scroll up, (so that I'm at the bottom of the list), every app will be "Finance" when I open it!!

everytime I open a ASM-program a Mirage-program or an Ion-program, my TI turns off and it's a ramclear (even if there's really no bug in code!!!!)  :mad: (means, that I can't try out my axe-programs anymore!!)

APPs which I've made with axe are displaying things, which I've deleted in the code, code-parts which aren't in the code anymore!!

self-test tells me "ROM FAIL"

I can't send any apps anymore from my TI to other ones (ERR:VALIDATION)

I've already had a few archieve-clears a few jears ago (when I was only coding in BASIC!!!!)

sometimes, my display is upside-down, and I can't fix it (always need to pull out battery)

I've already had ASM-codes in my graphs (Y1-Y0) after playing games (which were basic-programs!!)

I can't open the Midi-to-Axe-converted files (the player for it isn't working on my TI)

I wasn't able to make my Archieve larger for the nyancat-video!! (my TI ignored the program!!)



These are only a few of the things, my TI makes!!
I don't think There is another TI with a larger collection of errors!!
The only working thing is to use it for school (calculating nice numbers...)
But I'd like to code on it, too!!

I don't think TI will like it, because I've already used programs like "aboutnam", which aren't so good for your TI!
But should I send aboutnam to my TI again, to delete the text I addet into the "about"-screen and send it to TI after that?

or should I just buy a new one??

I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

Do a full mem clear. Use aboutnam to remove the name from the about screen. Do another full mem clear. Re-install the OS (and get 2.43 if you aren't already using that version). Afterwards, do not install any OS mods.

You should get a Casio Prizm.

Let me explain this to you in BASIC256:

input "What is Spyro543's current calc?", Spyro543_calc$
input "What is p2's current calc?", p2_calc$

If Spyro543_calc$ = "Prizm" and p2_calc$ = "Prizm" Then
print "I will help p2 with learning how to use a Prizm"
Else print "One of us needs to get a Prizm"
endif
Spoiler For English:
If we both get a Prizm, I'll help you learn how to use one.

Code: [Select]
Input("Calc of Spyro",Str1
Input("Calc of p2",Str2
if Str1="Prizm" and Str1=Str2
Then
Disp "I will help p2","with learning","how to use a","Prizm"
Else
Disp "One of us needs","to get a Prizm"
End
that's Ti-basic!

So, what do you think? Would you want to get a Prizm if I do?

I don't think so!
maybe later!
I'll first continue coding on a TI!

But if I'll buy one, I'll tell you!

I can fix that!  all you need to do is delete an app, which will create a defermentation, which will fix it.
This may also fix some other errors.
Do a grabage collect.  Always a good idea ;)
Tell me how it goes for you.



If you are getting rid of your calc, I will buy it of you.

Ya,  I think it was BB's code that did it to mine once.  I compiled a subprogram instead of the main, and ran it.  Wow i was a noob.

What all did it fix?  Just the Finance problem?

If it says ROM Fail it just mean you have an OS mod installed. :)

Good luck!
