How do I cancel the process of calculating an extensive equation?

[Emily Lamb]

So I entered in the sum from x=0 to 100000000 of 7*(3/4)^x.  Big mistake.  It's been running for hours now.  I tried pressing every single button, but it would not stop calculating the equation.  Is there a way to cancel the calculation request other than waiting for the calculator to run out of battery?

P. S.: If it helps, I have a ti-nspire cx.

1. I forget if it is hold down on or hold down enter.

2. There is a nice reset button on the back.

Hope that helps,

Press the reset button on the back.

Ah, thank you so much, Sean!  Holding the on button for 3 seconds worked!

Does this trick also allow you to stop the TI-Nspire™ CX CAS Student Software from freezing?

Kind regards
