Hi all
I dug out my old MSX the other day after about 12 years and after hooking it up I found that I couldn't get it to work. When I switch it on all that comes up is a black screen (no msx logo or letters or anything). The caps lock light doesn't come on either if you press the button, not sure if that is significant. It is a Toshiba Home Computer HX-10 64k.Hi all

Thanks!

), it's one of the effects of temperature changes. If there're no sockets, try to examine carefully the components looking for corroded pins in the ICs and "strange" capacitors (leaking, crystallizing, fat ones).
