Thats right, i bought a TI-84+SE from someone in the USA off eBay for $5 because the LCD was shattered. I managed to get it to link and you will never guess what is installed on it ... Desolate rofl!

.

I found it quite amusing to recieve a calc from half-way across the world with some software on it that i made

Ha, they might have done their homework and put it on there just for you.

Yeah its a good deal but it is totally unusable as it is next to impossible to replace the display.

hmm, yeah, maybe you can send it to TI and they will repair it for a cheap amount of money... uh WAIT, the title says a TI-84+!! I didnt noticed it until now. I am wondring if I could get at least $0.50 by selling my 3.5 years old TI-83+ with busted link port and a omnimaga logo in front of it?

Sounds like you don't need an XPander.

Email this guy richfiles@mac.com he might can help you out with fixing the screen. He does it all the time to the calcs he buys and sells.

You know it might not be totally useless. Doesn't the 84 have hardware that makes it work with TI presenter. You could find one and maybe have a useble calc.

Could be fun playing with that.

Actually, that is a very good idea. I will have to look into that

Hmm, just wondering: if you cant seem to manage to do something useful with the 84+ I was wondering if you could do stuff like replacing some of your TI-83 buttons with those of the 84+, not all of them since the APP button doesnt exist on the 83 but maybe it would look cool if they are the same size. Or maybe you could replace your TI-83 cover with the TI-84 one, I am wondering if this would be doable and easy to do?
