TenNoKoe Bank help, seemingly not working

[Johnpv]

Hey everyone I just bought a TenNoKoe Bank for my PCE Duo but I seem to be having some problems with it.  When I put it into my Duo and turn it on, I just get a blank screen, just nothing at all.  I have a couple of HuCards and CDRom games and they all work great.  As soon as I put the TenNoKoe Bank card in though I get nothing.  In fact the Framemeister says it's getting no input. 

I know the caps on my Duo need to be replaced (hopefully shipping out this weekend to get done, and RGB Modded).  Could it be because the caps are going?  Is it just that the battery is dead in the Bank, or is it more likely the card is dead?

Thanks for any help!

If it's a white screen, that's often dirty contacts.  Try cleaning it up real good.

I'd expect the huey to boot even if the battery were dead, it'd just forget everything as soon as you turned it off.

So the contacts looked AMAZINGLY pristine.  Gave them a good cleaning and it worked!

Sorry to have not done the obvious, but thanks for suggesting it!

Good deal!  Another thing to check is how far the huey is inserted; some of 'em won't work properly if shoved all the way in but are fine if you back them out a bit 'til they just clear the power switch.

Now that it works, replace the battery first.  It is old already and even if it still saves, the battery may drop out inconveniently.  Replacing it will give you about 20 more years.
