It's supported in my browser (opera)

UCF has it so if you do something like [+ ] or [)] it automagically changes to an image of the key. I think that is better than [key ][ /key]

Bet I'm the only one to have seen the Casio FX-700P >:D

Heh, maybe so, but I bet you never saw a TI-2550-III (My grandpa had one in high school back when it was high-tech)

I don't really think such a thing is necessary. I guess you could start a "what calcs. have you seen?' thread if you reeeeaaaalllly wanted to.

Flyingfisch,
 It sounds like you tried the correct procedures.
 Try brand new batteries and then press the reset button?
 If that doesn't work, here is the support information link.

 Subject: Casio PRIZM will not turn on

 Hello,

 I had my PRIZM attached to the computer via USB and after about 10 minutes the turn off screen displayed (you know, the white one with the casio logo on it). I did not have it in receive mode. It didn't turn off, it was stuck at that screen. none of the buttons would "wake it up" so I pressed the reset button on the back. The screen went blank.

 I unplugged it from the computer and tried to turn it on with AC/on. nothing. I popped all the batteries out and put them back in. nothing. I tried plugging it back into the computer and pressed the reset button. still nothing. I even tried popping the batteries while it was plugged in and replacing them and it still won't turn on.

 Is there anyway I can fix this or should I send it to casio?

What I like about certain stores over here is that during the first year of warranty, you just have to send the calc back to the store where you bought it, so you don't have to ship it to the company, and you even get one as replacement immediately at the store. It isn't the case for every store, though. For extended warranties, now Staples also lets you bring back the calc to the store, but I believe such warranty costs between $40 and $120 (basically, you may pay your calc twice)

Yeah, only problem is that I got it during the promo offer casio had.

Hmm both are the same. At least I'm glad you have the receipt still, though. Hopefully you can get a new calc soon. Some companies tend to take a long while to process customer issues. X.x

Yeah, I know. lirkiren (from UCF) had a problem like this before and they sent him a new calculator within a few weeks. I think I may call casio as well as emailing them.

What were the results of the USB thing Jimbauwens told you to try on IRC earlier?

Also this sucks if the calc broke. Did it break due to letting it connected to USB for too long? I heard stories about devices being fried over USB like Mic's TI-Nspire a few years ago (although IIRC that was a bug in OS 2.0.0) and sometimes it was caused by a sudden increase in power sent over the USB ports.

Regardless of why it broke, I hope they send you a new one for cheap.

Also did you try turning the calc ON while holding down OPTN and EXP? This opens the diagnostic menu. There's another key combination too, but I forgot what it was.

I tried both of the key combos, and the results of the USB thing are here:

dmesg|tail of my calc: http://pastebin.com/Ryz84fmv

lsusb of my sis's calc not in receive mode: http://pastebin.com/fAfXfxQt
dmesg|tail of my sis's calc not in receive mode: http://pastebin.com/TMseNck8

EDIT:
And I have my proof-of-purchase so it is covered by warranty. I only pay shipping ($5.35)

OK, just wondering if anyone else ever had this happen to them.

It didn't turn off, it was stuck at that screen. none of the buttons would "wake it up" so I pressed the reset button on the back. The screen went blank.

I tried plugging it back into the computer and pressed the reset button. still nothing. I even tried popping the batteries while it was plugged in and replacing them and it still won't turn on.

 Can anyone help me?

Yeah I always found this sucked, because TI claimed most 82 programs were compatible with the 83 and 83+, while 83 programs ran on the 83+ (BASIC of course), but most large ones in fact don't run due to lack of RAM. The 82 has 28 KB, the 83 a bit less than 27K and the 83+ 24K. Kinda ironic too considering the newer the calc, the lower the RAM (the same thing happened with the Casio FX-cg10/20)
...

I don't think so....
I am pretty sure that the PRIZM and the 9860 have approx the same amount of RAM.
