I recently tried to use my old PS2 devkit but encountered some issues. When I inserted the power cable, the power and disc lights turned on, and the disc drive spun when I inserted a disc (which I confirmed by opening it up and inspecting it). However, when I connected it to a CRT via component, the screen jolted for a split second, but the color did not change, and I could not hear any audio. I have attached some images of the console below for reference.
To clarify, everything works when I turn it on, but there is no audio or signal. It's worth noting that I use the PS2 devkit as my main console because my dad never bought a retail version; he just kept the devkit. I have tried to troubleshoot the issue by looking for any visible hardware damage, checking the AV cord connection, ensuring that the TV is on the correct signal input, and attempting the blind control inputs to change video settings as suggested by other users on this forum. However, these possible fixes have not resolved the issue yet. I have not thoroughly inspected the console using a multimeter yet.
Here are some images of the motherboard, power board, AV port, etc. for reference.

In the motherboard picture, you might see a ribbon cable connected out. I was able to fix that, but it's still not outputting. I'm assuming that the issue might have something to do with the disc drive, which still works. I've already tried the solution suggested on Reddit, which is to switch the output configuration blindly using the following sequence: Down, X, Down, Down, Down, X, Left, X. Unfortunately, this didn't work for me.
If anyone has any other suggestions or solutions, they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
