    Ti-89 Titanium
AI Thread Summary
The issue involves a TI-89 Titanium calculator that froze after attempting to install the DoorsOS operating system and games like Phoenix, Tetris, and Falldown. After sending the OS to the calculator, it displayed an "Address Error" and became unresponsive, with only the second and green key functioning. Removing and reinserting the batteries does not resolve the freeze, and the calculator continues to show the error upon restart. Recommendations include removing the batteries for an extended period, possibly up to a day, and checking for a memory battery under a screw panel that may also need to be removed. Caution is advised against installing games on TI calculators, as they can cause operational issues.

So, here's the situation. I recently got a Ti-89 Titanium, and i was trying to put some games on it. I had it plugged into my computer, and i sent Phoenix, Tetris, and Falldown over to it. Going through Var-Link and selecting the program didnt seem to work, so i decided to try downloading an OS. the OS i downloaded was DoorsOS. I sent the OS over to the calculator, and it still didnt work. After a couple tries, i got "DoorsOS" to appear on the line, and i hit enter. This froze up my calculator, leaving a busy icon in the lower right, and an "Address Error" at the top. Removing batteries and putting them back in doesn't seem to work. What can i do?

Additional Information: pressing second and the green key seems to work, but i can't get any other buttons to register. Removing batteries is the only way to shut it down, and when i put it back in again it just continues the freeze error.

I'm new here but it you know you should never put games on your TI's. Sometimes the games can backfire and lock up your calculator. I would try taking out the batteries for a day and then putting them back in. If that doesn't work I really don't know what to tell you.
 
if you take out the batteries, there's another battery in there for the memory, under a screw panel i think. one of those circular 1.5v ones.
 
Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
