I just bought a TI 99/4a on Ebay. It arrived looking beautiful. It was in the original box with all of the original paperwork and wrappings. Everything looks in near mint condition (except the outside of the box which shows some wear).

My problem is that I got it hooked up and the "press any key to begin" screen shows but it doesn't do anything when I press keys.

Any pointers before I crack the case? Are there any common causes for this type of thing? I don't have any cartridges to try or I would do that first.

Thanks!

I at least have a beautiful machine to look at, and the manuals, and I still have my emulator. It just would feel so good to run on the original iron.
