fx-65 with stacked fraction display

WARNING: Invoking the test described below will result in the clearing of data memory and mode settings. Further, this test requires partial disassembly of the calculator, which could result in permanent damage. See disclaimer.

The display self-test for the fx-65 is invoked by disassembling the calculator to locate the "TEST" pad located in the lower left corner (when looking at the back of the calculator) of the circuit board. Use something conductive, such as the tip of a screwdriver, to momentarily short the contacts. Repeated shorting of the "TEST" pad will cycle the display through four test patterns. The first test pattern is all segments energized, the second and third test patterns energize alternate segments, and the fourth test pattern is a blank display. Press clear or ON on the front of the calculator to exit the self-test. Of course, reassemble the calculator.



fx-82TL S-V.P.A.M. with 2-line display

WARNING: Invoking the test described below will result in the clearing of data memory and mode settings.

The fx-82TL has a display self-test, and a simple keyboard test.

Display Test. The display self-test for the fx-82TL is invoked by pressing and holding the SHIFT key, then pressing the reset button (labeled "P") located on the back of the calculator. The SHIFT key is pressed to advance through the display test patterns. The first test pattern energizes alternate rows of segments. The second test pattern is a blank display, the third and fourth test patterns energize alternate segments, and the fifth test pattern energizes all segments. Continuing to press the SHIFT key will cycle through the second through fifth display patterns.

Pressing the ALPHA key from the fifth test pattern (all segments energized), will restart the display self-test from the first pattern. Pressing the ALPHA key from the second test pattern (blank display), will display the fifth test pattern (pressing ALPHA again will restart the display self-test).

The reset button on the back of the calculator can be pressed at any time to exit the display self-test.

Keyboard Test. From any of the display test patterns, press the right-cursor key (Replay right key). However, it is recommended that the keyboard test only be invoked from the first or fifth test pattern. The display will shimmer while the key is held down (it appears that alternate rows of segments are being quickly energize and deenergized). You can then proceed to press any key, except the AC/ON, on the keyboard. The display will shimmer as long as a key is held down. Pressing the AC/ON key will exit the self-test and return the calculator to normal operation.



fx-115MS S-V.P.A.M. with 2-line display

WARNING: Invoking the test described below may result in the clearing of data memory and mode settings. (The storage registers are not cleared on either of my fx-115MS machines, but different ROM versions may behave differently.)

The display self-test for the fx-115MS is invoked in one of two ways depending on the ROM version. For the early version, simultaneously pressing the SHIFT and ON keys invokes the self-test function. On the more recent version, simultaneously pressing and holding the 7 and SHIFT keys then pressing the ON key invokes the self-test function. Pressing the SHIFT key thirteen times will cycle the display through each of the fourteen different test display patterns (the second pattern is a blank display). Pressing SHIFT twice more displays "0" and "1." Pressing ALPHA displays "2." (This looks like the beginning of the keyboard test for the fx-300MS, but there is no way to continue the keyboard test.) Pressing ON at any time exits the self test function.



fx-300MS and fx-991MS 1 S-V.P.A.M. with 2-line display

WARNING: Invoking the test described below may result in the clearing of data memory and mode settings. (The storage registers are not cleared on either my fx-300MS or fx-991MS, but different ROM versions may behave differently.)

The display self-test for the fx-300MS or fx-991MS is invoked by simultaneously pressing and holding the 7 and SHIFT keys then pressing the ON key (for some versions of the fx-991MS, simultaneously pressing the SHIFT and ON keys invokes the self-test 2). Pressing the SHIFT key fourteen times will cycle the display through each of the fourteen different test display patterns (the second pattern is a blank display). Zero will be displayed to signify the beginning of the keyboard test.

The keyboard test consists of pressing all keys, except for the ON key. The order of the first eleven keys is a little unusual. Then the order follows the traditional left-to-right top-to-bottom order. As each key is pressed in order, the number in the display increments by one. If a key is pressed out of order the number will not increment. The first eleven keys to be pressed on the fx-300MS are: SHIFT, ALPHA, MODE, cursor-left, cursor-up, cursor-right, x-1, nCr, Pol(, x3, and cursor-down. The first eleven keys to be pressed on the fx-991MS are: SHIFT, ALPHA, MODE, cursor-left, cursor-up, cursor-right, CALC, integration, x-1, CONST, and cursor-down. Then, starting with a b/c on the third row, continue pressing the keys from left-to-right, from the third row down. After = (the last key of the keyboard test) is pressed, "OK" is displayed on the top line, and either a "4" (fx-300MS) or "1" (fx-991MS) on the bottom line of the display.

The self-test can be exited at any time by pressing ON.

fx-115W and fx-300W S-V.P.A.M. with 2-line display

WARNING: Invoking the test described below may result in the clearing of data memory and mode settings.

The fx-115W and fx-300W have a display self-test, and a simple keyboard test.

Display Test. The display self-test for the fx-115W and fx-300W is invoked by pressing and holding the 0 (zero) and SHIFT keys (highlighted in red in the illustration), then pressing the ON key (highlighted in green in the illustration). The first test pattern energizes alternate rows of segments. The second test pattern is a blank display, the third and fourth test patterns energize alternate segments, and the fifth test pattern energizes all segments. Continuing to press the SHIFT key will cycle through the second through fifth display patterns.

Pressing the ALPHA key from the fifth test pattern (all segments energized), will restart the display self-test from the first pattern. Pressing the ALPHA key from the second test pattern (blank display), will display the fifth test pattern (pressing ALPHA again will restart the display self-test).

The AC or ON can be pressed at any time to exit the display self-test.

Keyboard Test. From any of the display test patterns, press the right-cursor key (Replay right key). However, it is recommended that the keyboard test only be invoked from the first or fifth test pattern. The display will shimmer while the key is held down (it appears that alternate rows of segments are being quickly energize and deenergized). You can then proceed to press any key, except the AC or ON, on the keyboard. The display will shimmer as long as a key is held down. Pressing the AC or ON key will exit the self-test and return the calculator to normal operation.



fx-115ES1, fx-300ES, and fx-991ES1 with "Natural Display"

WARNING: Invoking the test described below will result in the clearing of data memory and mode settings.

The self-test for the fx-115ES, fx-300ES and fx-991ES is invoked by pressing and holding the 7 (seven) and SHIFT keys then pressing the ON key. Pressing the SHIFT key will cycle the display through each of five test display patterns (one pattern is a blank display). Pressing the ON key exits the self-test.

After the five display patters are displayed, a menu like the following will be displayed (this menu is from my fx-300ES, the ROM and MODE may vary):

     ROM 018
     MODE P3
     Press AC

Press AC. A contrast test screen will be displayed.

     CONTRAST
     11h
     LIGHT       DARK
      [<]        [>]

Pressing the cursor-left and cursor-right keys will change the contrast setting value ("11h" in the above illustration) and the visible contrast of the display.

Press AC to continue on to the keyboard test. "00" is displayed in the upper-left corner of the display to indicate the start of the keyboard test.

The keyboard test consists of pressing all keys, except for the ON key. The order of the first eleven keys is a little unusual. Then the order follows the traditional left-to-right top-to-bottom order. As each key is pressed in order, the number in the display increments by one. If a key is pressed out of order the number will not increment. The first eleven keys to be pressed on the fx-300ES are: SHIFT, ALPHA, cursor-up, cursor-right, MODE, Abs, x3, cursor-left, cursor-down, x-1, and log. The first eleven keys to be pressed on the fx-115ES and fx-991ES are: SHIFT, ALPHA, cursor-up, cursor-right, MODE, CALC, integration, cursor-left, cursor-down, x-1, and log.

Then, starting with left key on the third row, continue pressing the keys from left-to-right, from the third row down. After = (the last key of the keyboard test) is pressed, the following exit menu is displayed:

     TEST OK
     Reset All
     Press ON

Press ON to complete and exit the self-test.

WARNING: Invoking the test described below will result in the clearing of data memory and mode settings.

The display self-test for the fx-270W is invoked by pressing and holding the OFF key, then pressing the reset button (labeled "P") located on the back of the calculator. The AC/ON key is pressed to advance through the four display test patterns. The first test pattern is a blank display, the second and third test patterns energize alternate segments, and the fourth test pattern energizes all segments. The reset button on the back of the calculator must be pressed to exit the self-test.




fx-6200G and fx-6300G Graphing Calculators

WARNING: Invoking the test described below may result in the clearing of data memory, program memory and mode settings. Further, invoking this test requires partial disassembly and possible modifications to the calculator, which could result in permanent damage. See disclaimer before dissassembly or modification.

The display self-test for the fx-6200G and fx-6300G is invoked by repeated closure of the "TEST" pad located on the back of the PCB of the calculator. See the Radio Shack EC-4033 self-test discussion for more details.



fx-7300G and fx-7400G Graphing Calculators

WARNING: Invoking the tests described below will result in the clearing of data memory, program memory, and mode settings. Further, invoking this test using the alternative method for the fx-7400G, described below, requires partial disassembly and possible modifications to the calculator, which could result in permanent damage. See disclaimer before dissassembly or modification.

These two casio calculators have built-in internal, display, and keyboard tests. With the calculator off, the test mode is activated by pressing and holding the two keys highlighted in red on the illustration at the right, then pressing the AC/ON key. A menu of test options is presented.

Each test is activated by pressing the number for the appropriate test. For the display test, press the EXE key (in blue on the illustration at the right) to step through each display pattern until until the test option menu is again displayed. The keyboard test requires the pressing of each key in order, generally from the upper-left, to the lower-right; the calculator prompts you to press the appropriate key. The RAM and ROM tests will display "- OK -" when the test finishes successfully; the EXE key must be pressed to return to the test option menu.

The self test is exited by selecting option zero. With the fx-7400G you must additionally answer "yes" (by pressing F1) to the "reset all memories?" prompt (the calculator will eventually lock-up if you answer "no," necessitating a hard reset using the reset button on the back of the calculator).

As an interesting note, the fx-7400G has a pair of pads on the circuit board which, when momentarily shorted, will also invoke the self-test mode. With the calculator facing down, and the battery cover removed, the self-test pads are the two D-shaped pads under the grey piece of tape to the left of the back-up battery. The switch above the words "BACK UP" must be pushed up to turn the calculator on before shorting the pads. The switch must be pushed back down before the battery cover is replaced.



fx-7400G PLUS Graphing Calculator
