Convert a Casio fx-350MS Calculator into fx-570MS

The scientific calculators used by many students in secondary schools and colleges are Casio fx-350MS and fx-570MS. Casio fx-570MS has more functions than fx-350MS. However, it is possible to convert a Casio fx-350MS calculator into fx-570MS.

After the conversation, however, not all fx-570MS functions will be available. The keys layout will change, some following fx-350MS, some following fx-570MS and some different from both 350MS and 570MS. You have to test it out by yourself.

These are the functions added to the fx-350MS calculator after conversation:
COMP, SD and REG mode: Added CONST and CONV function only. Other fx-570MS functions are still unavailable.
CMPLX and EQN mode: All functions will be available.
BASE-N mode: All functions will be available except some LOGIC functions.
MAT and VCT mode: No function available. Matrix and vector cannot be used.

To convert a Casio fx-350MS calculator into fx-570MS, follow these steps:
1. Press [MODE] and select 2 (SD).
2. Press 1.
3. Press [M+] eighty-two times. It should display "EditOFF ESC".
4. Select 2 (ESC).
5. Press ^ (REPLAY UP).
6. Press 131313131...... until no more numbers can be entered.
7. Press [=] two times. It should display "EditOFF ESC".
8. Press [0] followed by [1]. Note that you must press [0].
9. It should display "1          _". Press [AC].
10. Press [MODE] and you will notice that your calculator has the fx-570MS functions. Well done.

To cancel this and return to fx-350MS, just press [ON]. Start over from step 1 to convert again. So if you want to remain in fx-570MS, you can only press [AC].

NOTE:
1. The method above may not work for some older or non-original versions of fx-350MS calculators. For those calculators, you may not be able to press [MODE] at step 10, or the screen may show some strange displays. In that case, it is not possible to convert the calculator into fx-570MS.
2. The method above does not work for fx-350ES (Natural Display) calculators.
3. As I stated above, after converting your fx-350MS calculator into fx-570MS, only some but not all fx-570MS functions will be available. Also, the keys layout will change.
