I purchased an inexpensive TI 99/4a only to plug it in and find
that it doesn't work.  The t.v. screen does clear (to a sort of
murky white), but nothing happens.  (a) I've checked the power
supply and it's voltage output is o.k. (b) I've tried two dif-
ferent RF connectors, and neither change the situation.  (c) I
have pulled the back off and cleaned the cartridge port with an
eraser.  

I note that the speech synthesizer port is a gaping hole.  Is 
there supposed to be some sort of null connector in there 
when a speech synthesizer isn't hooked up.  Could this
account for the problem?

I'll appreciate any suggestions.
