Re: A85: TI-85 vs TI-86
Hey, I know a fix for that problem where you lose a couple of lines on one
side. This worked on mine, but it might not on yours.
If you stuff a bunch of paper inside the case on the side with the problem,
it might fix it. With mine the problem was that a data cable wasn't
connecting properly.
