Boot Options
« on: April 28, 2011, 04:04:46 pm »
I've heard mention of several things one can do to the 84 series calcs by holding down different buttons when turning the calc on. How many are there, what are the button combinations, and what do they do?

Remove one battery, hold down delete put the battery back in. This will boot to a mode where all you can do is send an OS to it. It's useful for when you install third party OS's and want to send a new OS and the third party one doesn't have link support in any way yet :)

left-right-on is press-to-test.
IIRC, it disables programs, applications, and groups and doesn't give control of them back until you send something to the calc D:

Actually, Press-to-test is worse than that. Apps and Programs are only saved if they are disabled, and all other RAM and Archive is cleared.

[8]-[5]-[On] deletes all programs and apps (if you accept)
[8]-[2]-[On] deletes all apps and programs for singapore (again, if you accept)
Battery Pull-[Clear]-[On] boots your calc without parsing the VAT (basically without looking for any programs in memory :D)

That's definitely not true. It just deletes your groups, nothing else.


And to add the the list.
  • Battery+[Del] -> [Mode] && no OS. You have to be quick with the [mode]. This enters the boot code self test, it does everything the regular one does and it checks the flash to make sure it works.
