New batteries, calculator won't turn on. It turns

it is broken get a new one

Is the screen off during this time? it might be the batteries Try buying new batteries. I recommend you rechargeable batteries. If it doesn't work try installing the latest firmware from hp.com/calculators

Hello,

If new batteries did not solve the problem, the next thing to check would be the battery terminal.

If the battery terminal is rusty, the battery power won't contact and the calculator won't turn on. So, use a flat small screw drive to scratch the battery terminal so that there would be contact.

If the above is not the problem, the next to check would be the wire connecting the battery terminal to the the calculator's main board. There is a wire between the battery terminal and the calculator board. When the battery is inserted, the power from the battery goes from the terminal to the board through this wire. There is a possibility that this wire is cut in-between or is loosing contact. In this case, you need to get a small screw driver and carefully disassemble the calculator in order to check the wire.

If the wire is intact, use a light brush to brush the calculator board as there might be dust on the board.

If non of the above helps, then it means the calculator is dead and needs a replacement.

Regards.

You might want to check the batteries, and make sure that they're in the correct way. If they are, then you either purchased bad batteries, or your 83 suffered a catastrophic failure/broke

from your description it could be the battery compartment it does not conect on the main circuit
if you can open and check the connectors it might be loose
if it will not help and you still want to fix Calculator let me know

TI calculators have an annoying habit of dimming the screen when the batteries are changed so that it appears as if the calculator isn't turning on. Turn the calculator on (or at least press the ON key). Press and hold the diamond key. Press and hold the + key for a few seconds and see whether the screen becomes legible.

If this doesn't do it, please reply to this post and we'll go on from there.
