Mine never crashes anymore since I don't run all sorts of these crazy asm programs that often anymore.

The battery holders on my TI-80 are really crappy, so it'll lose power in the middle of usage. I don't think that qualifies as a crash, but what the smeg.

I use my calculators all the time.
But thanks to a strict diet of only BASIC programs, all three of my calculators (83+, 86, 92) never crash. yay. Who needs ASM when you have the mind numbing genius to be able to manipulate BASIC into the ultimate tool.

My 83+s used to crash until I got rid of the apps. And I have crashed my 83+SE testing my Age of Darkness game...

For some reason, The calc doesn't like unfinished BASIC code... lol

If you count ERR:MEMORY as a crash, then yes it's quite easy.

That doesn't make sense, but it's also happened to me on my TI-82.

Yes. I was beta testing my Age of Darkness 2 game, and I had forgotten that I had not finished the code for the Magic. I tried to use the magic, and presto! Ram Cleared...

Does anyone know any specific way to crash a TI-81 (without modifying any hardware)?

Does smashing it count as modifying the hardware?

Probably, unless the motherboard & video board are intact (that is, only the case is damaged). :)

The LCD would probably be screwed, too. Too bad VTI won't let me try that. :( I guess it can't do everything. 120d\!

Yeah, you could select a "hammer" option on the context menu, then click on the LCD, and a crack would appear, etc.

When I first got my calculator about two and a half years ago, things went okay at first. Then I started putting asm programs on it. That's when it started crashing big time. At least once a day... But then I finally figured everything out, and I think the last time it crashed would've been more than a year ago...

<Rant>

Yes, that's how it tends to progress. You get the calculator, and it's fine. Put some games on it, and it gets so unstable that you're scared to turn it on in fear of a RAM Clear. Then, you finally get enough courage to turn it out, and you are greeted by the friendly RAM Cleared message, and you try to figure out what made your calc so messed up. Then you find out that you can control the calculator better by actually R(ing)TFM! This actually helps...

Well, that was my useless rant that has nothing to do with this comment, but Jeremiah Walgren is happy now because someone replied to his comment and he's not a loser that no one replies to because he's a n00b...

Wow, I can rant about ranting; is that not weird?

Ok, I'll end this seemingly meaningless post that will probably get deleted because of its nonsense content...

Well, there I go again.. I'm ranting about ranting about ranting..

(: I could go on forever and ever and ever... :)

you mean... 34811? I've got 22139 and I've been here since... Iuhno... '01? It's hard to tell though... there was a period where few people were joining and then it was kinda like "bam".

Also, calcfreak83, your comment wouldn't be deleted for irrelevance. If anything it would be for the fact that you are namecalling without any provocation against someone who made a valid and relevant post. And watch out he's got seniority over you too...

And yeah my 89 has crashed only once since I bought it. I wrote a program to eat up my memory, just to see what would happen, so, now I know.

That wasn't supposed to sound as mean as it did. I was just posting because no one was on AIM at the time, and I wanted to type. I wasn't trying to make it sound like he was a n00b either. I was just saying in general to everyone out there...

Err... I was REALLY FRIGGIN' BORED!

I've been programming calculators for nearly three years now.

The TI-89 was pretty much my first calculator I actually owned, and I had no clue on the HW1 and HW2 differences when I first got it (Pi Day, 2002). Once I figured that out, my crashes dropped to practically zero...
