Thanks for looking the topic...

Does anyone knows the FX-9860 Self Test function key order.

Its different from Afx,9850 etc.But i could not find it yet..

[huhn_m]

how has the old combination been found?

[Andy.Davies]

i suppose sumone could phone tech support with a fake RAM problem, theyd be bound to ask you to enter the test mode...and thus would tell you the key combo

Sorry to reopen this topic, but for those wondering the combo for the TEST function of the fx-9860, here's how you do it:

1. Go into PRGM.
2. Press F3 for new Program.
3. When it asks for Program Name, press these buttons in any random order rapidly: tan' /> EXE' />

This process is tricky to achieve. I don't know why CASIO had made it so hard, but it takes practice. If you don't get it on first try, repeat the process again. I'm afraid I can't tell the correct order of the keys for the key sequence, but these keys do bring you to the TEST function.

That sound better than my combo! So, did any of what I said helped (well, because it sounds similar to my...)?

Check this out:
Font/Lang Check -> Popup test -> [1..6]

1 : "Bonjur!"
2 : "Soyez les bienvenus ? Tokyo"

Can anyone translate the French text, please?
Btw, isn't "Bonjour" usually written with "ou" ?
Also funny: "Valiable Manager"
(Should be "Variable", right?)

Bonjour is ALWAYS spelled with OU. bonjur is a mistake.
2 : "Soyez les bienvenus ? Tokyo" : You are welcome to Tokyo

Valiable : Japanese confuse easily R an L (same for Koreans, by the way)

The Kidou Protect : A mode to protect your calculator against any dammage your kid (or any unfriendly person) can do ? But if you don't have a SD card ? How do you set the time ? (This would be great : a temporary protection !)

I noticed that in the valiable manager, you don't have always acces to the functions especially after you pressed CAPA once, presing the f1~f6 keys wouldn't do anything. To get it back, press
EXIT4' />EXE' />1' />
and you're back.

I think Kidou means kid (japanese words must finish by a vowel).

Hence : Kid protection : to prevent your kids (or a classmate) from messing around in your calc...
You can see that only vital menus are prohibited with the kidou protect...
But this is still speculation from my part.

After checking several online japanese dictionnaries, Kosuu might mean number, amount :

Input File Kosuu : Input number of files ?

[kucalc]

Hmmm, the actual OS image (2.5MB big, thus leaving 1.5MB for the user) had already been found months ago, plus the bootloader and also a utility that downloads the OS: http://www.casiocalc...a...p;p=36032

Also in the Reverse Assembling 9860 thread, there is also another type of TEST menu: http://www.casiocalc...a...p;p=36032

CFX Master: Could you mail me the package with the files (ram / flash images, etc)

[TyYann]

In another thread, Kukalc said about the test mode :

The SETUP function in Font/Lang Check, is similar to the SET UP function, but provides a lot more options like Date Mode, Answer Type, Auto Calc (don't know what that does), etc.

This is the Auto Calc option from the SpreadSheet mode. Check your manual the page just before section 1-8-1.

Actually, the Setup function from the test mode gives access to ALL the setup for ALL the modes in one screen.

[kucalc]

Ah, thanks CFX_Master. You remembered.

[kucalc]

Well, it wasn't like there was anything exciting to do in there.

[mintsmike]

Is there any way to access the SELF-TEST mode with OSver1.5.

I do seem to recall that the only ops that can do it are 1.3 and earlier,

Thanks in advance,
mintsmike

I will try that when I return from vacation
