SVI-727 MSX 80 column cartridge... help?

Hi

I got an SVI-727 MSX 80 column card... When I insert it in an MSX, nothing happens. THere is no image coming from the video connector. THere is almost nothing when I make a RAM dump of the slot it is in...

How can I test it? Who has experience with this hardware?

Also, how do I open it? I unscrewed all screws, but it's still fixed in the top left corner, somehow...

Any help is most welcome!

I have the same problem. I am using the 727 cartridge with non-SVI computers, but it should work fine in any MSX, shouldn't it?

Help needed!

Yeah, it should, according to the box and the label. AFAIK there was a special CP/M which can be used with it, but... . It would be nice if there would be a way to access it at all to see if it works!

What do you see on the video connector? Just blackness?
I see little dots and some white flashing lines as well. Looks like there's no sync or so.
