Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX: Why isn’t my ti-nspire turning on

Sun, 06 Apr 2025 04:35:01 -0700

My nspire had low battery and when I went to charge it it wouldn’t charge and so it shutdown but when I got a spare battery the device still won’t turn on or at the very least the display doesn’t work. I tried both the spare and the original battery on a different device and both worked for that device

Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX: stuck on loading screen upon plugged in

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 19:44:11 -0700

I have a TI-Nspire CX CAS that I recently tried to charge. It's been a few months since I last turned it on, and the battery was dead. When I plugged it in, it started loading but got stuck on the loading screen about a quarter way through. I have tried the following:

Updating the OS via the TI-Nspire Computer Link
Leaving it on charge for 36+ hours
Leaving the battery out for 12+ hours

All of these attempts have failed, and I don't know what to do next.

Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX: TI-Nspire CX Cas Damaged Charger Port

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 08:37:33 -0700

This question is specifically for the CX CAS model of the TI-Nspire calculators.

The calculator is fully functioning except for the fact that it won't charge, unless the cord and charging port are aligned a certain way. It is not a problem with the cord, but with the charging port.

It seems that its contact points to the motherboard have been disconnected, as it has come loose and moves independently of the chassis, and only with luck can it be placed a certain way so that the calculator may charge. I would have to open it up and solder the contact points back to the motherboard, but I don't have the tools nor the know-how to do it.

I tried looking for ways to just charge the battery itself, since it can be easily removed with a Phillips screw driver, but haven't found the parts that would fit just yet. Any way to be able to charge it up would be appreciated.

All visible screws have been removed.

Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX: Recovering ti nspire cx from water damage

Thu, 30 Jan 2020 23:08:06 -0700

I wrecked my calculator yesterday in the morning with sink water when i was cleaning the outside with the cover on. i didn’t realize it was broken until i tried using it before a class in the afternoon. At that time, when i turned it on. the screen was showing the home screen, but there would be a wavy line moving from top to the bottom of the screen every few seconds. And when i tried turning it off it wouldn’t respond. At the time i didn’t have the screwdriver to take out the battery so i left it alone until after my class. When class was over, i checked the calculator and it was off. When i got home in the evening to take it apart and remove the battery, the inside seems dry. I didn’t see any rust or discoloration on the boards. The battery looks fine to me. After letting it dry further and reassembling the calculator, i tried to connect the charger to test if it would turn on last night. After a few minutes of charging the calculator, i can hear a slight noise within the calculator when i press the ON button. The display didn’t show anything (black screen) and oddly, the other metal outlet opposite to the charging port started to heat up. So i disconnected the charging port. And this morning, after reading other online guides about electronics further, i removed the battery. Is there much i can do at this point to recover the calculator? I can’t tell if the display has problems, or the power connector, or other things. Are there ways to find out what’s wrong and to fix it?
