1 | Press [ON]. |
2 | Open the battery case, take a battery, and swivel it on the springy terminal. |
3 | Take out all four batteries and re-insert them. |
4 | Take out all four batteries and the lithium backup—you'll need a small phillips-head screwdriver (the screw is pretty dang long). |
5 | Take out everything and let the calculator sit on its face for a couple hours to let the power drain out. |
6 | Get the reciept and take the calculator back to the store. If they refuse to exchange, make the best of a bad situation and get a TI-86 or 89 this time. Oh, and instead of just throwing the thing away, position it on the sidewalk, and have it and a baseball bat repeatedly attempt to occupy the same co-ordinates in space-time. The spritzing LCD oil does wonders for that ancient bloodlust. |
