Do you have a calculator, but can't turn it off? The obvious choice would be to hit the "OFF" button, but what if it doesn't have an "OFF" button, or what if it's broken? Learn how to turn off a calculator without using the "OFF" button.
Step 1 Turn the calculator on.

Method Two
- If it is a solar powered calculator, cover the solar panel until it turns off.
Tips
If in a grid, this is the numerical button order. 1 is bottom left, 2 is to the right of 1. 3 is to the right of 2, and then we go up a row and restart the process ( 1 2 3 being 4 5 6). - It is easiest to release the On button before releasing the numeric buttons.
Warnings
- This will work on most modern calculators, with or without an "OFF" button.
- This does not work with regular Casio calculators without the "OFF" button.
- This will not work on scientific or graphing calculators.
