Your a fag if all you do is figure out how to turn off calculators all the time

[334theman1225]

HEY I GOT AN IDEA...HOW ABOUT YOU DON'T TURN IT ON IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?

[mrmeowmix2300]

@glureo If your in a dark environment then you probably are.

[akaalanb]

Young man, you're a genius. Thanks for this little tidbit everyone should know.

[mrmeowmix2300]

[thecukogirls]

[ozzyfreak1001]

Your welcome!

wow saving battery life on a solar powered calculator....hmmmm.......oooo­ok LOL

[mrmeowmix2300]

Its saving the backup battery.

[HifiCentret]

Guess it only works on calculators from a specific manufacturer. I've tried all calculators without off button in my collection and none works. No matter whether TI, Casio, no name or advertising gifts.

[HifiCentret]

And hey. Good basic calculators doesn't contain any battery anyway. Unfortunately not many calculators today with solar cells are capable to power the calculators on their own without the "backup" battery. But all those from the 80s work well and they don't even have a battery. The best one being a Casio DS-120 desktop calculator. Wonder what has gone wrong since then...

[DrBPhD]

Cheep calculators are turned of best by using a hammer.

[WIGGER59]

cool it works

[hvbulldogs123]

who looks this up on youtube?

[dragoncandyguy]

or 4 then 5 then on

[yokljo]

i just use 5 + 6 + on

[CoolShot906]

hmmmmm.....thnx,but my calculator has no button of *ON*..sooo...nice video !

[xXZarlachXx]

i was doing teh same, but i made it my self without guide...=P i just hold down 1 2 3 and press ON/C and it turn of

[Rowantwig]

It's probably because the calculator thinks "I've got lots of buttons pressed = I'm stuffed inside someones pocket = I'm not really being used = don't bother turning on".

Anyway, if the calculator uses a solar panel instead of a battery you can just turn it upside down and wait for it to die.

[deathtoad88]

ive found that hitting the calculator against the edge of the table works pretty well

[gulsanos]

I already knew that^^

But its cool to know

[Frankfurter338]

Is there a point to turning them off?

[Omegatron666]

You'll save battery.

[mrmeowmix2300]

Yeah I was about to say that. Didnt I say that in the video?

[Omegatron666]

You said it once the credits was rolling. I guess he didn't watched the whole video.

[Zone355]

U can also hold times and divide to turn them off 2 try it it should work.

[1pyrtsi1]

what camera are you using?

[mrmeowmix2300]

Canon ZR930 Camcorder. Its set to the normal length setting and is using 1 hour mini-dv tapes.

[mrmeowmix2300]

Anyone have ideas or thoughts on what my next tutorial/video should be on? I need ideas.

[nupanick]

There's ZZT, or Dungeons and Dragons, or Etch-a-Sketch, for games. Some people don't know how to set the speed dials on their cell phone, and you could even make a how-to make a how-to video! Or there's tricks in applications like Flash, Word, Excel, Photoshop, and on and on.

[jimbo852004]

wow, all through school i never needed to turn a calculator off, but now i know how to do it, i feel the need to try......

[mrmeowmix2300]

hope it works for you, although school calculators usually have an off button.

[vikingscool]

Wow! Great! Thanks for wonderful tutorial,

so now, I must try it, but unfortunately, I don't have a cheap calculators. :(

[mrmeowmix2300]

Thanks! It works with some, non cheap calculators as well but it is rare.

[vikingscool]

Hey, I remember that someone invented turn off the calculator, someone invented to my mother or my father,

and someone said, shaking the calculators, and it turns off. I hope, maybe, I correct.

[nupanick]

Clever! I wonder how much that helps the battery life, though, because it might work by short-circuiting the calculator.

[mrmeowmix2300]

Thanks. I'm pretty sure it doesnt though, because on most calculators, you can hold 2&3 or 5&6 and then press on and it will work the same. So I'm not sure how holding 2 buttons would short it. I just assumed that it was a little trick that was programmed into calculators.

[nupanick]

I meant, maybe pressing two buttons at once creates a circuit that links the batteries to themselves, by connecting two many wires at once. That would cut power to the display and effecivlely turn off the calculator with a short-circuit. I don't know the extent to which you can "program" a calculator.
