It doesn't seem to connect. I just got it from Amazon today. I opened everything, put it in its clear plastic case. I loaded OpenElec on the 2GB card and Rasbian on the 8GB. When I put the OpenElec card in and plug it in to HDMI then plug in the RPi the XBMC interface shows up. So to interact, I plug in my dynex wireless mouse. The display goes dark and says no signal, but the Pi lights are still on. I unplug HDMI and plug it back in; nothing. So I unplug everything and try again. This time with the Logitech mouse. It doesn't kill the display but it doesnt work. I tried the keyboard. Nothing. So I unplug everything and try the Raspbian card. This won't even give a signal to the display. I know the display works because I'm using it right now for my desktop. The HDMI works, I've used it with my laptop. The Logitech mouse works, plug and play. The Dynex Mouse also works. The keyboard works. I've used it with a Wii, my laptop and a desktop. The 2GB card works, I used it in a phone. The 8GB works, tested in a camera. The Micro USB works, I use it every night to charge my phone. So I'm not sure if I'm just plugging it in in the wrong order or what. Please help?
