Title: {solved} Is it impossible to get an 84+ keypad?
Post by: Spyro543 on June 07, 2011, 03:45:39 pm

Spoiler For Original Post:

Quote from: Back of TI-Nspire packaging

TI-84 Plus Keypad - Available at no additional cost
[...]
How to get your TI-84 Plus keypad:
1. Log on to education.ti.com/84keypad
2. Complete the online form. Your TI-84 Plus Keypad will be sent to you at no additional charge.

There, said twice that I can get an 84+ keypad for free. So I created an account, and registered my calculator, and guess what the education.ti.com/84keypad website looks like?

Where is the online form I should complete? I am logged in and my calc is registered, but the website still tells me to log in and register. ??? What do I do now? And I'm not taking "just go buy one online", because I was told I could get a free keypad, and I want my free keypad.

Problem solved  ;D

Have you tried every browser? However it seems they like to hide their stuff. I couldn't even find where to buy the student software.

Maybe the 84+ keypads are discontinued completely?

No, you have to register your nspire on the website, and then you will get an option to 'purchase' additional stuff (or request the free keypad).

Well what he wants to know is where on the site can he register his Nspire?

Ah, here we go. I was chatting with a TI employee and I got the answer and how to order it when I want to order it.

Ah good to hear. :)

What,s the link to the chat by the way? It might be useful in the future to have a link list in a post here for those needing extra help.

Yes, I found the chat much more helpful then what you guys say about the TI-Cares email service. I actually got help. Oh yeah, there is a button on the right side of the Contact Us page on the TI edu website that says Live Help, that is a link to the chat.
