Neo Geo AES - No Picture

[ProjectCamaro]

So I finally caved in and bought an AES, I did the unthinkable and bought it via eBay but it sold for $250.00 plus four games so I thought the price was pretty good.

The issue I have is when I hook it up I can hear the music playing but I get no picture. I did clean the cartridges and pins thoroughly so I know that's not the issue. I know it's not the TV as I tried it with my Famicom and Neo Geo CD and they worked perfectly. I also hooked it up via a Sega Genesis AV cable and ended up with the same results.

I'm about to take the console apart to give it a good cleaning but does anyone else know of anything I could do? The seller did show pictures of the title screens of all four games so I know it was working at the time he put the auction up. I would rather not have to send it back if possible as he's in Japan and return shipping not to mention the extra time involved is more than I want to deal with right now.

Thanks

The Genesis 1 a/v cable and the Neo geo cable while they look the same, actually have different pin outs. See here http://www.gamesx.com/avpinouts/neoav.htm and here http://www.gamesx.com/avpinouts/genesisav.htm

HA! rough reputation is putting it lightly, I used to go there a lot but man, that community.

I just went over 2500 posts there so I guess I feel pretty comfortable there@_@ I pretty much get along with everyone on any site where I post so I'm not the best example. I'm more of a congratulator/supporter/hopefully helpful person than an arguer/debater type of poster.

I tried, I signed up a couple months ago and my account was never validated so I can't post. I signed up again a couple days with a different username and email and that account was never validated either. When you sign up it says your account goes to a moderator for approval but for whatever reason they never approved me.
