SOLVED

I'm using a TI-84+

1. If I hit [2nd] then [mem] it does nothing. Both keys work for all other functions. This has never worked for me, but I was always able to work around it.

2. Until now, for some reason when I try to graph anything lately it gives me ERR: UNDEFINED. Even simple functions like y=x. I figure a reset would fix this, but I can't reset because of #1.

I hope my calculator is just celebrating April Fools Day, otherwise this is pretty depressing.

1. It sounds like you're using MirageOS and the keyhook got the best of you. To clear your RAM, follow these steps:
a. Create a new program named DSTRYCALC
b. Open it in the program editor, find "AsmPrgm" in the
catalog, and put it on the first line of the program. After that, type in "18FE," only without quotation marks.
c. Go to the homescreen, find "Asm(" in the catalog, and run the program. After removing a battery and putting it back in, you should have a nice "RAM Cleared" message.

2. You might just have the plots turned on. Press [2nd], [Y=], [4], then [ENTER].

How do those things work?

Couldn't you just unblock the memory menu through Mirage, instead of clearing the RAM?

Thanks, both of you. I didn't realize the first problem had anything to do with Mirage. Clearing the RAM works temporarily but as soon as I run Mirage it gets blocked again. But this can be easily fixed in the Mirage settings.

And yes, I did have plots on.

I kind of took for granted that he was locked out of MirageOS due to someone else's password protection.

slim: Yay for functionality. It was temporary because MirageOS archives its application variable.

or if MirageOS actually archived the password variables he could get a friend to resend the MirageOS password variable to his calculator overriding the one already on it (the friend would have to set no pass or tell him) anyways lots of ways around it.

Going into MirageOS to the point where you are prompted for the password and then removing the battery has the same effect, as the variable is in RAM at that point.

Well, no. It was unable to re-apply the [MEM] block because you have to run MirageOS for it to be able to notice that the block was no longer in affect.

Aw, Andy... surely you realize that I know that. I apologize for the lack of depth in my response.
