The following is a list of key combinations that do unexpected things like opening screens which are normally not accessible to the user.
All combinations work on the Prizm, and some may also work on other Casio calculators.
Contents
OS combinations
Combinations handled by the OS.
Diagnostic mode
- Press [OPTN]+[EXP]+[AC/ON]
- Press [F1] (no data will be deleted under normal conditions)
- Press [9]
Test mode
There's also a syscall for it.
- Press [OPTN]+[EXP]+[AC/ON]
- Quickly type 5963
Initialize all
- Press [1]+[3]+[AC/ON]
A message asking "Reset OK? Initialize all." will appear.
Delete user name area
Available only on Prizm OS 1.04 and up. Possibly Casio got tired of support requests on how to remove user names set, with unknown "password", by people fooling the calculator owner.
- Press [F2]+[Up]+[AC/ON]
- Press [9]
User name will be deleted. OK? will appear.
Bootloader combinations
Handled by the bootloader, these key combinations usually involve pressing the RESTART button.
Emergency OS updater
Used to recover from a corrupted OS. Use any OS update bundle to send a OS.
- Press [F2]+[4]+[AC/ON]+RESTART at the same time
- Release RESTART and continue pressing the remaining keys for a few seconds
- Press [9] for a second
- Press [×] (multiplication) for a second
"OS ERROR" will be shown on screen. The boot code's emergency OS updater is now running.
Flash area erase
Can delete specific flash areas and make a copy of the OS area into another, probably overwriting part of the file system and corrupting it.
- Press the RESTART button plus [OPTN]+[EXP]+[AC/ON] and hold all down
- Release the RESTART button
- Wait until the screen becomes white
- Now release the remaining three keys
Note: not pressing the restart button opens the diagnostic mode.
Now press and hold [MENU]. A menu will appear:
- [F1] will Erase User Flash Area, clearing flash memory from 0xA0C00000 to 0xA2000000.
- [F2] will Erase Password Area, removing the user name and organization log, stored from 0xA0BE0000 to 0xA0C00000.
- [F3] will Erase MCS Backup, clearing the user RAM backups on the flash from 0xA0B80000 to 0xA0BE0000.
- [F4] will Erase Add-in Language, clearing the area reserved for the selected language add-in (from 0xA0B60000 to 0xA0B80000).
- [EXIT] will make a copy of the OS to the area from 0xA1000000 to 0xA1B60000 (may corrupt the file system!)
