What to do if my calc can't connect to my PC?
« on: July 16, 2011, 11:15:43 am »
Hi,
I have a major problem. :(
Everything begun as I tried to send the NyanCat-app to my calc... :-\

I'm not sure, but I think since I used the "nyanmem.8xp" to increase the free archieve memory, everything went wrong.
After I used it, I can't send any apps to my TI-84+ BE anymore. ??? Now I downgraded the TI-OS from 2.43 to 2.22 (because I haven't another OS on my PC) but after that, I can't connect my calc with my PC   :'(
I tried to use TI Connect 1.6.1 instead of 1.5 and I also tried TIConnect X on a MacBook. But both doesn't work..
In addition I reseted all my memory many times... (After booting up with [clear] + [on])

What should I do now :'(

I hope you can help me because I don't know what might help.  :'(

Which cable are you using ? I'd take it that you're using direct USB, since older versions have more trouble than newer versions with Direct USB.

archive your stuff.  Run a garbage collect.  do a ram clear. Run a garbage collect.  do a ram clear.
This usually works for me.

So does it work now? Turn your calc on while holding the Del key and send a new OS using the OS downloader.

sorry man, no clue.
Don't worry too much though.  I am one of the lesser experienced users here at Omnimaga.  I am quite sure someone will come along soon and help.

Edit:see :)

Do you have the USB cable plugged into the calc BEFORE doing the Del trick? (And I meant to say batteries not on above, sorry about that)

If it is, test if windows can see it.

When I pull a battery, press [del] and while this put the battery back, it shows the screen that I should install a new OS. When I now plug in the USB cable, TI connect finds my TI, but I can only send a new OS.
ATM I send the 2.55MP OS...

EDIT:WTF?! IT WORKS with the 2.55MP!!

I think it's just that it didn't work with 2.22 because it was such a low OS version.  I believe you'll want at least 2.30 for most compatibility.
Oh, or OS 0.46. ;D
