Buttons are unresponsive.

Check if any debris is lodged under the keys. If the issue persists, try a battery replacement or a full reset. Avoid pressing multiple keys simultaneously unless intended.

Error message displayed (e.g., 'Math ERROR').

Review your input. 'Math ERROR' often means an invalid mathematical operation (e.g., dividing by zero, square root of a negative number, invalid function argument). Check your syntax and the value range.
