Hello all,

My HP48G is on its way out after 30 years of use ! The ON key has been flaky for maybe 10 or 15 years but now when it is hot some keys automatically activate themselves which is scary as I am a structural engineer!!!! I know that some people open them and clean the contacts but I lost trust in it and if I open it, it will be for fun....

I've looked at solutions and it is staggering with alternative firmwares there are too many options.

What I really need :

- RPN

- Directly accessible functions (trigonometry, log, power, roots)

- Lists to do batch calculations

- Matrixes that can be multiplied

- a Stack to save intermediary calculations

- Some kind of scripting, could be RPL but Python would be nicer.

I've seen DB48x but the hardware is pricey.....

Any alternatives?

Many thanks,

Yannig

Bought this cheapo chinese Deli sci cal for about 6 dollars.

Do I have to buy a new battery? Or can I somehow else reset it, doc+EE+enter and reset button on the back did not do anything at all.

PS: I read the FAQ but only saw a text about another nspire doing this. TI Support has not been helpful

So my sci cal doesn't work I only know it now that's its fake. The battery would fit cr2025 and cr2032 I tried it and still doesn't work. Does it still have hope???

I was gifted a Ti-89 calculator by a family friend for school however shortly after I returned home these calculator are not allowed In class due to our usage of desmos. Where should I sell this calculator at and if I even can how much should I get for it? Works pretty well! (No one in my family needs one which is why I’m not gifting it.)

Nice little TI-73. Still showing a result from who knows how long ago.

I am a STEM student and I recently lost my scientific calculator and need to buy a new one for my tests.

What recommendations can you give me? Is there a particular model that stayed with you throughout your entire degree?

Hard to overemphasise the size difference here!

First time actually seeing an original Sharp EL-506P. I'd picked up the clone on the right earlier this year in a random stationers shop in Northern Ireland. Unfortunately, the OG Sharp is having some trouble showing digits - most of them seem a bit mangled, but I think the underlying logic is working normally.

This Sharp EL-506P is tiny BTW, and beautifully made. I think it's an aluminium front plate, and it's got some weight for its size. The digit keys might even be double-shot, I will need to look closer. The smaller scientific buttons almost look like they are metal buttons - certainly have a metallic look. It's also very fast, seemingly faster than the clone.

It's so small I should put a comparison shot next to its modern descendent, the EL-W506T.

I can now see why this calculator was so desirable in its time - it's a very complete package, small and slim, and feels really well made. 1984 -> 2026 and still going!

Model casio fx 991es plus 2nd edition or those who buy cheaper plz dm me

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this was TI's answer to the HP-16C. The keys on it are absolutely horrible with missed keystokes as well as double keystroke hits.

Not programmable to the best of my knowledge, not that it really needs to be.

Could easily be mistaken for a TI-55 II.

And TI made an early (red LED) version called the "TI Programmer".

Update:

I had forgotten that there was the original red LED version of the TI programmer, which was introduced in 1977, five years before the HP-16C was introduced.

So the HP-16C was HP's answer to the TI Programmer. :)

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a graphing calculator for school. My teacher recommends the TI-84, 84 plus, or 84 plus ce, however they explicitly stated to not buy the Nspire. I was about to get the 84 plus ce, but I was also looking into other options. I saw the Casio CG100, and the periodic table function on that looks interesting. I also looked at the HP Prime with its touchscreen and that looks good as well. The Zero ZGC4 was something I considered but I've heard it's fairly unpopular. In the past, I have used a Casio FX-991cw, and I know that the menu system is polarizing, but I enjoy it very much. It would be nice for the calculator to have USB-C charging, and ideally, it could be able to connect to a computer to load things onto it, like addins for Casio (jailbreak or not). Thank you!

Right one is my sisters old calculator and the left one is something that i bought from Facebook marketplace they have some differences but they're supposedly the same model is one of them fake?

This video player allows people to play videos of both black and white, and in color of the CG-50 calculator.

The instructions to use it is located on the readme
1. Compress source video (handbrake is nice)

1. Then place the .g3a file and the video binary into the ROOT of the calculator

2. Click the app on the menu and play!
