   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..
