It sounds like an ASM program gone wrong that's crashed the system. Also, try holding [ON] and Delete or Clear, which sometimes can help with resets (not sure if it works on the 86, I've only used an 86 twice, but it can't do any harm) |

I did that before to my old 83, I dropped it and it broke. It's broke dude, nothing you can do to fix it. Unless spiral's thing didn't work I'm sorry.
Try reseting everything to "default", just reset everything-a calculator that works is better than a broken calc without games! |

Total Posts: 122 | Those colors programs seriously mess with your lcd... I tried one, once. All ti did was clear my ram, but I gather I was forutnate. But programs won't do what he's describing. You probably dropped it, or it got squished in your bookbag. |

Try calling TI and see what they'd say. I knew some people who got their screen replaced for free by TI (they had a similar problem), so who knows maybe you'll get lucky.
