In response to all of this, I would like to suggest that one MAJOR
possibility is the contacts INSIDE the linkport being broken or bent out of
place. Jared, Is there any evidence of physical damage to the port? I,
through normal use of the port, ended up with a broken port, and so I
returned it to TI without any means of telling that the calc was within
warranty other than the manufature date code on the reverse of the calc.
They accepted it (I DID, however, talk this over with TI before sending it,
and I think you should do the same. Also, if you don't have the warranty
papers, any receipt that is dated will work. I went through a month without
much calc use before sending it away. Send it INSURED MAIL!!!! This is one
important way to be sure that nothing happens to it en route (also TI can't
say "I never got it"). I included a letter, and they returned a new calc
(w/ ROM v.1.12!!) to me promptly, with no charge whatsoever!
