Error Link
« on: February 12, 2010, 10:38:30 pm »
I just got an Error link.  The screen looked like this:
(the top line is inverted, # is where cursor started)
ERR: LINK
1:Quit #
2:Goto

Once I moved the cursor, it acted like a normal cursor during errors.  After I tried both options, it brought me back to 1,1 on the homescreen.  This error occurred as I turned my calc on-The calc froze for about a second and then gave this error.  I was using my 83+se.  I gave it a RAM clear, but the error didn't go away.  I then backed up everthing and gave it a MEM Clear.  The error is now gone.  Does anyone know what happened?  Has this happened to anyone before?  Thanks! :D

It hasn't happened to me...what does error link mean?
Sounds like a random issue with the os.

mhmm not sure, I might have got this error before, but like once or twice on my 83+SE. I don't remember how it was triggered, though, as it was 6-7 years ago

I have gotten this error when playing around with omnicalc's linking functionality, but it only happened when I tried to link to a regular 83 and got a bad connection.  Then there was a ba crash and I started gettin the error whenever I turned on my calc, even RAM resets didn't fix it O.O but for some reason a garbage collect did.  I never saw it again...

EDIT: it seems the error isn't documented over at TiBD either O.O

This is a really strange error. I've never had this occur on my 83+SE. Had you run any assembly programs on it recently?

The funny thing is, I hadn't ran any asm programs in the last 2 times I had turned my calc on.  It was just after I finished Illusiat 11, but I'm sure it is not to blame.  Illusiat 11 unarchives and archives one pic each time you load a save file, so it might have been that but I doubt it.  Hmm.

could be something related to archive/unarchive. The 83+SE is prone to get weird errors, though. You are lucky you didn't lost progress on Elmgon yet due to a ERR:BAD ADDRESS

I've encountered that before O.O When i tried ungrouping a bad group on my calc I got negative RAM and then huge strings the must have been seeping into Asm only RAM, then when i tried deleting them I got BAD ADDRESS D:  I was able to fix it by just ungrouping it on my comp and then sending the files individually though.

Negative Ram?!?  Wow.  Did the cursor flash, like when you have zero RAM?

DJ, I think I've gotten Bad Address, but I've backed up everything on the comp, and then deleted/mem cleared.  Then I put the files back on my calc.
