Trying to switch on

Hi, afraid this is a pathetically basic question but I’m struggling even to turn on my Gameshell. I’m in the UK and don’t yet have a battery but understand I can power directly via the USB and my laptop. Is that right? When I try to do this I get absolutely nothing, nothing on the screen, no LED anywhere. The screen is connected properly as far as I can tell. What do I need to be looking for? Or do I just need to wait for a battery?!
Thanks
Catherine

The Gameshell should turn on when USB power is connected. Double check that your microSD card is inserted correctly. Without it, the GS will not start.

Thank you. I think it’s inserted ok but happy to be corrected. Does this look ok?

No that looks too far out to me… have you tried it both ways around?

Oh fantastic, thanks so much. Working now! Bloody typical, I had pushed it further in so many times but it just popped out. Then tried again now and it stayed in and switched on!
