I spotted a bunch of used Pi 5`s complete with PSU, and so bought one. I
set that up with Bookworm, on a SD card, then hit another snag. I lacked
any way to connect it to a display. I needed a micro HDMI to HDMI cable...
Ordered one up, got delivered, tested it with an old TV, and blank
screen. Tthen tested it on a more modern TV, still blank, using the port
near the power port on the Pi, but using the port further away from the
power port, I got a display. Is that normal?
USB bluetooth dongle, keyboard and mouse - worked fine.
I am going to retry the old TV, later, using the port I now know works,
though I thought I had tried both ports with the old TV..
