Nspire OS Issues - Continuous Restarting

[jonjoel]

Hi all,

A couple of my students are experiencing the following problems with
the Nspire CAS....
It loads when I turn it on. When it finishes loading the operating
system, it reboots and loads again. This cycle just keeps repeating.
Replacing the batteries did not fix it.

Anyone else seen this behavior? Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

It sounds like a job for home enter P
and On

I don't recall the exact situation, but I remember fixing some issue be removing the OS and reinstalling it (this reminds me of a computer, except I know what I'm doing and it is a lot easier to do this on the Nspire).

Nelson described holding down home enter P while turning it on back in October, i.e. don't forget to first remove the batteries:

"3. If the calculator is crashing or for some reason doesn't seem to
respond to user action or there's nothing detectable on the Settings,
use the maintenance menu: remove the batteries and wait a few seconds;
re-install the batteries (this is done to get the Nspire ready to
boot, instead of resuming the last session); press the following key
combination (all keys at once, make sure to press the On key LAST):
Enter+Home+P+On. This will activate the maintenance menu, which offers
4 options:
- reboot (nothing happens, just a plain reboot); this usually does the
trick with no need for further action.
- delete OS (erases completely the OS, you'll need to install a fresh
one from another Nspire or computer); this will solve (almost) any
problem, although in many cases it won't be needed.
- delete all documents (the OS remains unchanged, only the documents
will be deleted - probably won't solve any problem the first two
options can't solve too)
- format all memory (deletes all files and OS; again, if options 1 and
2 didn't work this probably won't do any good either).
Try these four options in the order they're presented here. There's no
need to use the most aggressive solution if a less aggressive solution
solved the problem (and it usually does)

Aha! I needed to go all the way to the 4th option to get this baby
going again. Re-Format, Re-load OS....and finally...it worked.

Thanks Sean for the quick reply.
