HP Prime dead ! - Talesseed - 04-27-2017 10:00 PM
I wanted to charge my HP Prime. I took my phone charger and though it would work like last time. But the HP Prime's screen started to turn blue and then my calculator was dead. It tried On+Symb, Pin Hole+Symb, O+F+C+Pin+On, I removed the battery multiple times... But the calculator doesn't turn on.
Does anyone knows what happened ?

Are you saying you did not use the official charging cable that came with your calculator?

No, unless that charger fries everything that it is connected with (doubtful).
With the battery removed, can you plug in the cable? Does anything happen?

I charged my phone with this charger, and my phone hasn't fried.
I removed the battery and I plugged the cable. There is a white flash but nothing more.

With the battery out, hold down the SYMB key and while the SYMB key is connected, plug the cable in. Do you see anything different?
If you don't see a "Recovery" message, you'll need to contact support I think.

Well, I tried it, no message appeared. I guess it's officially dead now
I will contact the support but I need a new one really quickly. I guess I will just buy another one.
Thanks for you help !
