O.O That is something you have got to put in a readme if you actually go through with this :P

Otherwise, this is awesome.

not to discourage you but it sounds unlikely that it'll work.  But I wish you luck anyways! :D

Just don't harm your calc too much when experimenting :(

no dont worry. Like I said i might buy another calc to experiment with this. Only if I could figure out how it works first of all.. Iambian, shmibs, thepenguin, calc84, and justcause are the only ones that seem to have an idea on this that I know of.

Nah, there are more. One way of achieving it, I believe, is by like rapidly adjusting the contrast. Quigibo, I believe, did a test on it.

Like I said, the BLOD are the LCD itself failing. But the bluescale achieved by rapidly changing the contrast probably works on the fact that the monochrome black isn't actually black, but a dark purplish color. If you throw a little white (transparent) into it, then it would appear bluish. At least I think, anyway. If so, then it would probably be relatively harmless.

If this was true, then ordinary grayscale programs would also appear blue on this model of calculator. What I suspect is actually happening here is that the LCD driver has a bug where rapid contrast changes are somehow causing it to feed excessive voltages into the LCD just like the infamous "test mode" (though not as bad as that)

Hmm, our school library checks calcs out to students ;)

I don't want to pay $85 for replacement, though...

EDIT: Personally, I think whatever turns out blue on a calc is probably bad for it :P

Perhaps, but bor the 84+ SE, when you completely black out the screen, to me it looks ever so slightly purplish. It's only the full black, though.

Yeah, I noticed that when I turn set Shade(63), for example. But it's not that blue D:

If we asked i think it would reinforce their opinion that calc programming is bad.

Like this total bullshit:


NO WAY THAT THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!! The video was very well done though.

EDIT: Hold on... did my respect up again?
Lol so fake but much better done than the other Halo video I saw somewhere before.

That might explain it. When turning the calc OFF from an asm program like MirageOS or when it APD's, the screen quickly goes dark for a centisecond or something then turns off. On certain models you even see a blue line appearing. I believe the later occurs on all 68K calcs.
