Hi there- I have an orange EYESY (No 02034) that has been hiding in a box in the closet, and I’m trying to boot it up. When I turn it on, I get a blue light but no action on the HDMI port. I’ve read many forum threads describing these symptoms, all of which seem to go away with a fresh OS image. I have tried that but am not seeing any results.

What am I missing? Other things I have tried: different monitors and different 9V/1A (center+ jack) power supplies. Different microSD cards. I even opened the not-serviceable-by-users case and reseated the Raspberry Pi board.

Other suggestions?  
thanks-  
john
