Title: Tips for CASIO freezing
Post by: TheAspiringDoc on October 20, 2018, 11:54:11 am
Hey

Does anyone have any tips for if the Classpad takes ages to load and even says “insufficient memory” after about 3 minutes? How do you make it faster etc?

This often happens to me when simplifying or graphing functions containing lots of brackets and square roots.

I know about pressing ‘clear’ so it says “break” but anything else?

Thanks  :)

My calculator had that problem. To fix it I ended up going into the settings and factory resetting it, that made it work perfectly fine for me.

If that doesn't work for you I think you should plug it into a computer and download the latest software files for it to update the operating system.

I didn't know about the "clear" thing...does that also clear or factory reset your CAS or anything like that? Or does it simply stop the freeze/loading?

If there's no way to prevent freezing without having to reset your whole CAS (like come on it'll clear my macros and whatnot), I simply ask myself "is this equation too complex for my CAS to handle?". It doesn't happen in methods often, but in specialist I have had moments where I entered equations that the answers sheet claims to be accomplished on CAS, but it still freezes my CAS in an infinite load.
