Ok I had this problem all of a sudden and I kinda flipped out, but...I DID FIND A WAY TO FIX IT, all i was hit it against my pillow and bed for like 5 secs and it suddenly worked again. lol its a miracle! But try it and u never know..it worked for me.
( O yea, make sure its on the "Ram Cleared" screen, then beat it against your bed or something soft)
Although at first glance, I can't believe this strategy will work. But after I tried everything from removing battery and press "clear" ...etc. THIS ACTUALLY WORKS FOR ME!!!!!!!!! Thank God! and can't help thinking the old "turn it off-turn it back on" and "beat it" ways of fixing electronics works!!!
k...well...that's messed up but...yep!!! IT WORKED!!!
OMG!!! Thank you!!!! it worked

I had the same problem. I went to TI's website and snooped around for about a half an hour and then found this tip: Press and hold the "clear" button. Remove one of the AAA batteries and then re-install. Release the "clear" button and turn on the calculator. TA-DA!!! This worked for me. My calculator is back in action.
I was getting the same REM CLEARED code, but it did work if I pushed the button long enough. I tried the whole "hit it against something soft" solution, and it worked. After I slammed it on my couch it said "Done" and it was back to normal! HA HA....
Thanks xfirex1068
When you are at school and you get your calculator and it freezes hit you calculator softly on the screen and it works for a while if it keeps happening keep hiatting it ( DO NOT HIT IT REALLY HARD!!!)
I got mine fixed.
You need to call TI and ask for help.
they will tell you to alot of things before gettin a new one for free
My Ti84 has the same problem. it locked me out.i tried to group several prgms but it froze up.
I think its because one or two or alot of the memory kernels got "hit" to many times so it cant be used to store data or return info...
Take it easy man, this problem is easy to solve, open the battery's lid and you will see a Screw open the screw and take out the small battery that inside and returned back. it will help you.
bumoneer
it happened to me, too. turns out that when batteries fall out, temperature changes, etc. the RAM (random-access memory) clears. if you have any saved programs, you can archive them by pressing [2nd] + 2 7 . Press [ENTER] next to every program you want to archive (a little star will appear)and you won't lose it next time.
you can't use archived programs; they're just saved so that when RAm clears you won't lose any archived info. you can actually archive lots of suff.
to use your program, follow the same key sequence, the star will disappear, and you can use it again.
if you don't have any programs that you want to keep, well i just wasted my time. :)
DOWN LOAD THE TI PROGRAM FORM CD OR WEBSITE... CONNECT THE CCALCULATOR TO YOUR COMPUTER.. LOOK FOR UPDATES.. THEY WILL DOWNLOAD TO A FOLDER...RIGHT CLICK TO THE FILE "SEND TO IT DEVICE" AND WAIT... I DOWNLOADED "TI84PLUS_OS" OPERATING SYSTEM
The best way is to call TI tech support.
Just wait. my ti84 froze for about 20 hours. then we tried the method suggested by the instruction booklet, the one where you take out all the batteries and hold the 'on' button for 10 seconds+ and then reinstall the batteries. we did this repeatedly and when it didn't work, we went and got new batteries but when we came back it just started working again.

I have the same problem. . . get "RAM cleared" and it freezes. have to take the batteries out then put them back in. Every time I turn it on it does this!
I have the same exact problem and if i want to do something, i have to push really hard on the key
sorry to do it again, but I installed the new OS and it just says the new OS and still says RAM Cleared
RAM Cleared
Same problem, TI-84 Plus 2.40 RAM cleared
I found ants on my calculator plus my batteries were dying. I removed the batteries and replaced them and when I turned on my calculator, the screen read RAM cleared and froze. No buttons were working and the only way I could turn my calculator off was by taking out the batteries. I tried to even take out the back up battery and nothing is working
I have the same problems it just says RAM cleared, and i have to hold on the key but it takes so long, i have tried to chang all the batteries.. nothing works
my calculator freezes...i tried everything even had my teacher look at adn she said to call the 800 number to have them fix it
I also put new batteries in my calculator and it froze and is only reading RAM cleared.
RAM cleared screen lag freezes up and i cant do anything it locked me out?
i had this problem the solution worked
My TI84 plus shows the RAM cleared message and freezes
the ram cleared
my calculator turns off right after it says RAM CLEARED!
I had the same issue with my ti-83+, I opened it up and realise there was some corrosion on the circuit board.. probably from beer leaks hmm I mean battery leaks.. well I took a clean tooth brush and gently removed the corrosion from the circuit board and put back the screws together and now it works like a new one !!! watch out when you open it, once you remove the circuit board from the casing nothing hold the buttons and they flew into the air when I opened it... took me more time actualy to put them back at the proper place than fixing the calculator!
