Frozen clock, even after format?
« on: November 14, 2016, 08:28:15 pm »
Yes, I'm here again. The flow of calculator shows no sign of stopping... until now?
One day, I was messing around in MicroPython on my P-0211A TI-Nspire CX, and decided to input a math expression that has a very large answer, which I knew would freeze the calculator. The calculator froze, as expected, so I rebooted it via the button on the back. It loaded the OS, it went to the clock screen, and...
Nothing. The clock was simply frozen. I waited for minutes, and absolutely nothing changed. I tried reloading 4.2.0 without the boot2 (TNOCed) as to not lose nLaunchy, to no avail. I tried reloading an unmodified 4.2.0 OS (with the boot2), to no avail. I tried formatting the entire system and reloading the unmodified 4.2.0 OS... to no avail. The only thing left I could think of doing would be reflashing the entire OS at RS232 level, but I don't have an RS232 device, and I'd rather not go that route just yet. I already have my documents safe, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

By the way, I do have a computer called a "PocketCHIP", it's similar to the Raspberry Pi, would that work as an RS232 device? It has GPIO pin slots, if that helps.

Nevermind, everyone! I mentioned my problem on Reddit, and according to @Vogtinator, it was a problem with the OS not initializing the touchpad. After leaving the battery out for a few minutes and reinstalling the OS, everything works fine now!  :D
