   Hello all. I know almost nothing about LEGO robotics, but my mom picked up an RCX 1.0 brick at a yard sale. I just have the brick - no accessories, no software.

Before I go buying stuff to go with it, is there any way to tell if this thing even works? Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Marc,

After you put batteries in, press the on/off button, it should beep twice and show a little man beside the number 1. If you don’t get that, you have problems - they may be fixable, but you probably want to seek help from someone familiar with fixing electronic gadgets :)

It has some built in programs, but if you have no motors or sensors you can’t really check those. However when it’s displaying the digit 1, if you press “run”, the man’s legs should move apart, and little arrows above the A anc C outputs should come on.
