Hi,

I'm a newb here, but I've been using TI graphing calculators since 1993. I have a TI Voyage 200, about 3 years old, that has blank horizontal and vertical lines on every screen.

I've cleaned the inside of the calculator, thinking it was dust, no luck.

Any ideas, or do I need to buy a new one? Thanks,

J

Yeah, you need a new one. The LCD screen is damaged.The same thing happened to my TI-89 Titanium when my sister knocked it off the buffet table :(. I would recommend a TI-89 Titanium over a Voyage 200 though.

You do not need to buy a new one. Contact Texas Instruments support to ask about a repair; it's much cheaper.

If that does not work out, I would recommend the TI-Nspire CAS over a TI-89 Titanium, unless your use of the calculator would benefit from using external (made by users or Texas Instruments) applications or programs, in which case the V200 or 89Ti would be best.

No, the 89 Ti is better because of all of its advanced calculus and statistical functions. It is also far more versatile that the Nspire CAS.
