Difference between 83+SE & 84+SE
« Reply #16 on: October 07, 2007, 04:50:00 pm »
I was gonna post this earlier. I have an 84+ SE and I do love it, I haven't had any major issues with it, it has held up to my fumblings. My only issue is, well we all know about the LCD drivers that are/were rather shotty on some of the older models, I think it is fixed now otherwise Jim e has a program that should fix it.

To be honest mine wasn't nearly as bad and I was able to work with some coders to fix their code that was causing some of the errors. GH for example and zDoom. However there is always a chance that the game wont run properly on the 84+ SE. (I havent had a problem...and maybe it's just me, but I swear the Grayscale looks a lot better than it ever did on my 83+)

I have seen personally 3 83+ SEs that have somehow gotten a rather serious big in them that, I was just unable to get fixed and I have tried everything under the sun. The same thing seemed to have happened on my 83+, that took a full years time off after I removed all the batteries after doing full mem clears and all sorts of forced methods to get it to respond. So it isn't an isolated thing just among the 83+ SEs. However TI sent 3 refurbished ones because they couldnt fix the problem on my original calcs.

This problem has never occured on my 84+ SE. Just food for thought. Oh and the TIConnect software sucks...but eh it gets the job done.

I might have a fix for your 83+/se's if you tell me exactly what the issue with them is.

Yeah jim did make the lcd fix, I'm not sure if that was the exact reason, but I know it does seem to fix the lcd problems on the 84s.

My fix is for a different problem (lcd contrast issues) and I am not sure if any has had the same issue that is why I asked they way i did.
