ok i have 2 dreamcasts that will not output any video, they seem to function properly otherwise going through the spin up and reading of the disc

they are 2 different kinds WK and TK

Dreamcast TK was manufactured May, 1999 (release model?)
Dreamcast WK was manufactured August, 1999

both do the same thing on boot and both arent outputing any video.
theyre both worth putting a little bit of work into them to get them working because other than the no video they are both in really good shape

Any chance someone put a long screw where a short screw goes in the backmost laser assembly screw hole? I've seen that numerous times. The long screw will grind out a few surface mount components near the video encoder.

Are you using the same video cable for both? That could be the culprit.
