Calc freezes when removing USB cable

Post by Boub65 »

If you start an "Activate USB Disk" connexion, and when the calc displays :
"Connecting to USB..." (you have to be very very fast)
you remove the USB cable...
then the calc freezes with "Connecting to USB..." on the screen and only a hard RESET will get you out of there!

and the answer to your question is: NO, I did not do it on purpose, just victim of a bad cable connexion :lol:

Funny I had a similar thing, not being blessed with the ravages of intelligence, I forgot all about the reset button.

Opened the calc and removed the battery :oops:

There then followed some anxious moments as I had to reformat the FAT and then restore from a backup. That didn't work initially as I forgot to put the modules into the FAT before restoring. After working that out (well the calcualtor told me if I'm honest), I repeated the steps and all was good.

Lesson learned!!!!

With me what happened was Microsoft Explorer decided to throw a wobbler, after that Windows would not recognize the USB even after a reboot and the calculator was completely locked up.

All good now though and back to normal

I was facing this type of problem. Finally got the answer here.
