Selected User Reviews For Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator, Black
This seller should not be purchased from. You're dead to them if the product you get doesn't work. This is a graphing calculator that I ordered for my son. We noticed it had power issues but assumed it was due to the batteries because he used it on and off. We purchased new batteries (both rechargeable and non-rechargeable), as well as a battery tester, to ensure that the batteries we were installing were in good working order. After it went off and wouldn't turn back on during an SAT practice test, we contacted the seller and asked for a replacement. "You need to stick a small screwdriver in and move the two terminals on the inside a little," he wrote back on February 1st. Below the batteries, there are two holes. Look inside with a light and you'll see the touch gold terminals; move them to one side and try that first. " We tried this, but it didn't work because it turned off again while my son was working with his math tutor (who, by the way, has the same calculator; the difference is his work). I contacted Franklin Electronics again, requesting a replacement, but have yet to receive a response.
This calculator appears to have been stolen, in my opinion. On the bottom of the calculator, it says "school property. " When I bought it, it didn't even look like the one in the picture.
In terms of calculators required for standardized tests, TI has a monopoly. Furthermore, the "plus" adds no value to high school math. After spending so much money, I discovered that my child's teachers could use the TI-84 Plus. For class instruction and tests, a score of 83 is required. Buy a used TI-83+ instead of a new one to save money. Better yet, lobby your legislator to end TI's monopoly on legal graphing calculators.
I just unwrapped this TI graphing calculator for my child's first day of school, and what I saw disappointed me: This calculator came with two corroded AAA batteries. The packaging on the outside appeared to be quite old as well. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Otherwise, I'll scream for a refund if the calculator doesn't work. br>I'll let you know as soon as I have more information!.
Pros:
- Basic calculator usage functionalitybr>- -br>--br>--br>--br>--br>-- br>br>Cons: So far, the battery life has been "ok. "br>br>
- Despite the fact that I bought it "used," the TI-83 Plus is a great value for the money. The 84 calculator I received was filthy, with dust and dirt in the groves on both sides, on the screen, on the Texas Instrument writing on the cover, and in the top cord plugs. I needed to clean it and sanitize it. Not cool!
- The top and down arrows buttons on this calculator don't even work after having it for over a week and into my Math class! I'm not sure if they sent me a "used defective" product at this point!! I still have two weeks to return it for a complete refund! This is completely absurd! Why does Amazon permit such sellers?.
If it had been any other product, I would have been furious that it came in a color other than the one shown in the picture. However, yellow is my son's favorite color, so he was overjoyed when he received one in his favorite color! So you've all come out on top. ) Thank you for sending the yellow one at random:.
I used to use 85 in algebra and trig 20 years ago. If something isn't broken, don't fix it, right? I bought one of the fancier new color display models that were approved for use at their school and were probably 30% more expensive but apparently not a single other student had one% Lesson learned: just get the cheapest one approved because that's what everyone else is getting and what the teacher will be familiar with. That calculator is this old, venerable device!.
What can you say about these that hasn't already been said? They've been around for a long time and continue to hold their value. My eldest has kept his TI-84 calculator. After 11 years, it still works perfectly at the age of 83. My younger child required the newer version for his class, and I anticipate that it will last just as long as the first.
