Actually taking out the AAA batteries and pressing the ON button for a few seconds should clear the memory because the lithium doesn't have enough power to display the screen. Then place the batteries back in and your ready to roll!

since you can always just disconnect the power, and all the RAM will be

seconds (perhaps press ON... but that shouldn't matter), then put all the

something
physically broken inside your calculator (which software cannot cause), or
you haven't been turning up the contrast right.

We'll

Another thing about this (different person) A friend of mine once
crashed
his calc so bad that he had to leave his batteries out overnight, then he
put them back in in the morining, and it worked fine, hope this might
help. :)

Kevin
