Title: ??? Ti-84 silver plus totally screwed up!
Post by: Taranok on April 12, 2012, 11:01:21 am: I have a Ti-84 plus silver. I was kinda annoyed with something, so then I tried restalling the OS (2.43). The OS didn't install correctly because the batteries were too old. I put in new batteries, reinstalled the OS, but now TI Connect says it's a Ti-83, and also whenever I try to launch an app, it will turn off, and then you can't keep it on anymore unless you ram clear (hold Clear, press ON).

Any solutions? Thanks.

If so, try getting your os from someone else's calc.

Already tried this. didn't solve any problems. I will try calc to calc though.

Post by: Sorunome on April 13, 2012, 02:18:25 pm: Maybe sending a 83+ OS will make ticonnect see that it is a 84+SE

Post by: Taranok on April 16, 2012, 07:05:31 pm: Ok I got 2.55MP and the apps i deleted previously from a friend and now all the apps (including axe :) ) work. I haven't tested TI Connect, but I have reinstalled it.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 19, 2012, 01:18:08 am: TI-Connect has a long history of giving strange errors, but I have never seen it do that with a TI-84 Plus so far. The only similar problem I ever saw was when the TI-Nspire was detected as a TI-92 instead of a TI-84 Plus while in 84 Plus mode or something like that.

Also welcome to the forums. Glad your issue is solved.

Post by: jsj795 on April 19, 2012, 03:27:02 am: do you think it might be because TI put in some way to disable installing lower versions of OS somehow? That would be scary

Post by: Taranok on April 19, 2012, 04:03:18 am: I don't think so, because I think thats how I got 2.43 in the first place, and that was after 2.55 came out.
