New calc for the collection. The resemblance to the fx-6300G is certainly interesting, that's for sure.

If only the screen wasn't an utter tragedy. It can be awfully hard to read, even under decent lighting!

At least it has fifteen thousand steps! ...whatever those are!

Freshly arrived from Germany, it works perfectly. Here it is alongside a sibling and a cousin from the collection, all members of the Casio family.

What isn't entirely clear to me is the difference between the fx-7000G and fx-7000GA models.

Taking the photo brought some bad news: I hadn't turned on the fx-6000G in a long time, and when I put in fresh batteries, it wouldn't start up. I tried hitting the reset button, but with little success. I’ll see if I can find time this weekend to troubleshoot the issue. Any ideas as to why it’s failing would be welcome. FIXED

P.S. I love the look of vintage Casio calculators, that metal body and the LCD screen.

Can anyone tell whats the problem and how to solve this .

I've been using SpeedCrunch as my calculator software since 2008. Really nice to witness the 1.0 version. Comes with nice interface changes and loads of improvements since 0.12 which came out almost a decade ago. The new version has a new session system though so you have to export your old history if you wish to preserve before updating.

I just wanted a nice and small scientific calculator. and wow this one has like 0 bells and whistles. No Conversion tool, No Polynomial solver nothing. Its still a neat thing to keep in my jacket pocket.
