 on."

The ON thing may sound dumb but it seems to work.  I took out and replaced my
batteries about 5 times and nothing worked.  So I too them out and hit ON and
ENTER and then replaced the batteries and it worked.   

And also on your problem.  Does the calc turn but it just displays a bunch of
"garbage".  If thats the case you might wanna consult TI or maybe post on the
Hardware and/or on 85 list since A) this is a hardware problem and B) its an
85 not an 86.  Some on the 85 list may have encountered this problem and might
now a way to fix it.
