In rare cases, the FX-5800P calculator may experience firmware corruption, displaying ROM!!!!! on startup. Here's a comprehensive guide to recover your calculator:
- Remove all batteries from the calculator
- Leave the calculator without batteries for at least 1 hour (some users report success with this simple step)
- Reinstall the batteries and turn on the calculator
- If the calculator still displays ROM!!!!!, proceed to the firmware recovery method.
Firmware Recovery Process
You'll need:
- Another properly functioning FX-5800P calculator
- A 3-pin data cable to connect both calculators
WARNING: The malfunctioning calculator must ALWAYS be set to OS UP Recv and the working calculator to OS UP Send. Reversing these roles will damage your working calculator.

On the Working FX-5800P (SENDER):
- Simultaneously press AC/ON + MODE + 7 keys.
The screen will display DIAGNOSTIC MODE, Factory use only. - Press the ← key, then press 9.
- Press 2 to select OS UP Send.
On the Malfunctioning FX-5800P (RECEIVER):
1. Press the FILE key.
