Power off broken? - massimo - 02-08-2014 07:40 PM

Last night my Prime has shown a strange behavior.

Immediately after switching off, the calculator turned on right away.
After several attempts with different resets, I solved by formatting the memory of calculator.

Someone else had the same problem?

Probably the calculator knows you love it, and now it doesn't want to leave you any longer ;-)
Dont' remember witnessing that glitch.

Can be! Perhaps the calculator is jealous of other technological gadgets and wants to control me.

Anyway now it is fine.

Was it plugged via USB when this was happening?

Dear Massimo,

How to you do to format the memory?

I have another strange behavior. The keyboard does not react anymore as it should.
When a press SHIFT MEM, my PRIME enters in reset mode instead of displaying the memory.

Normal reset procedure does not help.

Probably it started when plugged but it continued when the calc was unplugged.

I used the diagnostics menu. I activated pressing the reset on the back of the calc (using a clip) and pressing 'C' 'F' 'O'. Then I choosed the FLS Utility from the menu. You can find more info into the forum.
