I found out why it didn't work. I had to push the wire down all the way to the root of the calculator and position the wire perfectly to get it to work. I did a software update, but I lost the wire position at like 70%. I think my calculator is messed up now.

Edit: Port inside had 2 broken pins so I tried to solder them back on and it still wouldn't connect to the software and if the pins come loose without the wire then the unit won't turn on. It's stuck into the software update until I can update. I'm just going to buy a new used Ti-84 +SE

Tried a brand new batch of fresh 4x AAA batteries and it still doesn't work.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Pretty much yes to all.

Edit: It seemed that after I left the DeviceExplorer out idling for a long time (unplugged) it seemed to somehow detect my calculator which makes no sense then when I try to select it again because the calculator was off, it would find the calculator, but when I try to connect to it I get the same error again. Weird. I don't know.

Problem:


Driver: (Only one related to the Calculator)


I installed the TI Connect, then TI-Graph Link (via CD), then plugged in my TI 83+ using a Silverlink cable, but when I try to connect using TI Connect (DeviceExplorer) and TiLP it won't detect my calculator. My computer detects it just fine, but just the software won't. When it is trying to connect the calculator freezes. It is ON for sure too. The OS is 1.12. I am running on Windows 7 64-bit. It worked once for me, but when I tried to transfer a file I didn't notice my calculator turned off so I missed my chance to transfer that one time and now it won't work again. ): I have tried to reinstall everything numerous time and even tried on a Windows 8 64-bit computer with Windows 7 compatibility. I tried different compatibilities too on my Windows 7 computer. This cable is brand new too, but the calculator is old.
