   Hi All,   
       I purchased a TRS-80, model 4 online a few years ago and now that I have   
   fixed my model 3's started on the model 4.  This is what it does so far...   
   I plug it in and the hard drive seeks.   I see the raster on the CRT (but no   
   diskette, or cassette prompt --- even if I hold the break key down).  I also   
   notice that the keyboard was trashed (several missing keys, and the reset   
   button was jammed down).     
   I pried the reset button out so it mostly resets normally now but still no   
   text, only raster.  Also, I tried to open the thing up but one of the screws   
   (yep, the last one) is badly stripped.  I've tried several techniques to   
   unscrew it, but it's    
   stubbornly resisted.  I might use a drill soon to drill out the screw to open   
   the thing up. :-(  I'm wondering if it's worth working on, or if it's become a   
   boat anchor.  BTW, I also tried adjusting the pots for the brigh   
   ness/contract..still no dice on    
   the text.  Thanks for any tips/advice.
