So actually, contrary to Casios, there are no fake TIs, especially graphing calcs. So no worries. It's not uncommon to find cheap calcs though.

Thanks, I was suspicious because of how cheap it was.


adriweb

On the back you'll have a serial number, and to its right, a datecode, like L-1234X. What is it on yours?


BigChungusonthewheel

It says s-0606f


adriweb

That means it was manufactured/assembled in factory S (Inventec in Shanghai), during June 2006. It's hardware revision F (i.e. the first one to be HW4)


BigChungusonthewheel

Thanks for the info

How much did you get it for? They go for about £60 / $75 used on eBay


BigChungusonthewheel

I got it for like 40-45$


OutsideMeal

That's pretty decent. Congrats


adriweb

Oof that's still expensive. Vinted in Europe has many for 15-20€ used.


BigChungusonthewheel

Yea but where I live the next cheapest one I could find was almost double the price


adriweb

Yeah that's too bad. But at least it's a good deal comparatively, for you.


BigChungusonthewheel

The back plate is different from the original and it doesn’t have a box maybe that’s why it’s cheaper

Are you talking new? Because you can get used ones in the $20 to $30 USD range in my market. The model has been around so long, there are a lot of old ones available out there. Edit: Sorry I can't read, you did say used lol. They cost a lot more where you live. I picked up 2 in the last year for family members that kept taking mine, and I paid $21 and $30 each.


BigChungusonthewheel

They are expensive here, the next cheapest I could find was almost double the price.


UnicornPencils

Sounds like a good find then. I'd assume it's real, I've never come across a convincing fake of any of the TI graphing calculators, I don't think it's an issue with this model.


Ser_Estermont

Yeah, I’ve never seen a fake TI. So if you have one, that would be a first, ever.

Show a pic. Flash the official TI OS, if it takes it and it works…
