AI Thread Summary
A syntax error when attempting to calculate expressions like 1 + 10^3.9 typically indicates incorrect command entry on the calculator. Users are encouraged to refer to the manual, particularly pages E-13 and E-14, which detail how to perform exponent operations. A common mistake involves the method of entering exponents; for instance, while older calculators may allow direct input of exponentiation, newer models require a combination of keys, such as using [shift] followed by [log] to input exponents correctly. Understanding these differences can resolve syntax errors and facilitate accurate calculations.

If I try to do 1+ 10^3.9, for example, I just get 'syntax error'. Argh!

Help?

If you are getting a syntax error, more than likely you are entering the commands to perform 1+10^3.9 incorrectly.

Tell us exactly which keystrokes you are pressing one at a time.

Edit: Or you can try to figure out what you are doing wrong in the manual. Glancing at it, it looks like pages E-13 and E-14 explain how to perform exponents on your calculator.

I figured out what I was doing wrong- in my old calculator, I could just press, for example [10^x][5], but on this new calculator, you need to press [shift][log].

Still not sure what the difference is, but it does what I need it to do, so I'm happy now. Thanks for your help :)

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...
