Title: [SOLVED] TI-83+SE Will not turn on.
Post by: annoyingcalc on June 23, 2014, 02:58:55 pm: I got out my TI-83+SE calculator today, tried turning it on and got nothing.
Changed the batteries, Nothing.
Put batteries in while holding DEL, Nothing.

Does anyone have any advice? I can't find Deep Thoughts tutorial for if this happens

SOLUTION: After about 5 attempts the DEL trick worked

^This. It's unfortunate, but the 83+SE's seem prone to dying or having problems. :/

I agree. Iambian's first 83+SE from 2001 had glitched up screen after only 3 years of use, same for many other people, and there were other issues as well (in my case, the two I had had loose screws from the start and the second one had battery power usage issues after 5-6 years)

(Btw my first 83+SE was manufactured in March 2001 and bought in Feb 2002. The second one was manufactured in March 2001 as well, but bought two months after the first)

Also for future reference, try leaving the batteries out for 5-10 minutes before trying DEL+ON

Since I happened to be around, I have done this. But yes, this is good advice that we should probably all do for own topics when we can remember to.
