Although the cursor is still blinking, none of the buttons, including the off button, work when pressed. is there a reset button? if not, how can i get my calculator to work again/turn it off?
Is the cursor checkered? If so, there is no more space on the entry line. Use the DEL key to shorten it or clear it. Clear the RAM also.
SOURCE: my calculator wont let me get off the opening screen
$10 at most general stores, if you are in the US
SOURCE: None of my buttons work except the ON button
Sounds like a possible short to me, But I don't have experience with that cause I have yet to test my calc with water if you know what I mean... The one thing that I can suggest is trying to connect with another persons calc and try the "send OS" command to see if that will reset your calc to a working state. Sorry to hear about the damage though.

I just had the same problem a few minutes ago and I managed to somehow fix it. Here's what I did:
1. Remove the back cover
2. Unscrew the little screw where it says "back-up battery"
3. Pull the cover off
4. Push in on the circular battery and then let go
5. Replace the cover, and make sure to screw the screw in tight
If that doesn't work, do the same process except remove the AAA batteries before you unscrew the 2nd cover. The manual says not to do that because you might lose memory, but if it's your last resort then it's worth a shot.
Hope that helps, there's a ton of reasons your calc could be malfunctioning so I don't guarantee that this will work.
Click the Windows "Start" button or press the "Windows" key. The "Start" menu opens.
Type "Cursor blink" in the "Search programs and file" text box.
A list opens.
Click "Change Cursor Blink Rate." The "Keyboard Properties" window opens.
Click the "Speed" tab. A list of options appears.
The "Cursor Blink Rate" section shows a "Cursor Blink Rate" slider displaying a range from "None" to "Fast."
Click and drag the slider button to the "None" area in the far left portion of the "Cursor Blink Rate" scale.
Click "Apply."
Click "OK." The cursor stops flickering on the screen.
hope this helps
