I have a DEC VT320 that powers up just fine, sees the attached keyboard,
and I can enter the setup menu.
However, when I attach it to my microPDP11 to use as a console nothing
appears on the screen during power up (there is a boot rom dialog that
is supposed to appear).
When I press a key on the keyboard it appears on the screen but I don't
think anything is transmitted out of the terminal.
I have looked at the maintenance print set and it appears there are a
pair of rs232 driver ic's, could they be the problem?
I agree with Paul, rule out all possible causes outside the terminal
case first. Ideally you can test the same computer with a different
terminal or serial interface.

How do you open the case up? It is not obvious.
