Today I found another Plus/4 in box for $15, as-is, untested. I figured might as well take a risk as worse case it doesn't work, best case it does work. Well, after I got it home to test it I found it does not turn on, at all. Checked all connectors, power cord is working, don't see anything wrong.
Testing the original one I bought a while ago I didn't get anything, but after swapping chips around still nothing. After a few power ons and offs I managed to get something, the screen below. After a reset I got nothing again, so I at least know something is working, but what isn't though remains a mystery. Anyone have any ideas? If I'm correct, this here is beginning to load, but failing to. Based on the fact that I see this I know the TED chip at least somewhat works, although I'm wondering if I have a bad ram problem now.
