Edit | That's just weird. I would probably do a few more resets, and if that doesn't work, contact TI. |

Take out all 4 AAA alkaline batteries and the lithium battery (phillips head screwdriver required) and let it sit on it's face for about 6 hours (allows for power to drain out totally and reset all memory). Then put the batteries back in and press on. If you still have problems, put a new OS on your calc, preferrably version 1.18, the newest. If all else fails, take TI-freak's advice and demand (but nicely :) ) a refund from TI. |

Removing *one* AAA and the lithium for about a minute should be all you need to do. The calculator only draws power from the AAA's from the ends of the series, not in the middle, so just taking one out would work just fine.
(At least, that's what would make sense, and how I've noticed it to work.) |

My 86 froze up hard core from some asm programs. My friend who also has an 86 told me to take out all 5 batteries and leave set it sit for 10 to 20 minutes. I did just that and it came back on and worked beautifully.
However before I tried that, I did try removign all 5 batteries, but al the max only let it sit 30 seconds or so. So time does play some factor, however I think 6 hours might be a little much.
As far as what I would do, try your best getting it back up working, it all fails just inform TI of pretty much what you told us, and within warrenty time or not they will replace it. They are billionaires and and very generous in replacing broken calculators. Here's the email if you need it ti-cares@ti.com |

Edit | Yes, they are generous. They gave me an 89 HW2 to replace the HW1, and never asked for the old one back... |
