My brother bought a second-hand A1200 recently, and hooked it up to a TV that works on my other A1200. Using composite + audio (yellow/white/red) to SCART, there's no video coming through, only audio.

I opened it up and noticed someone has done some soldering on the composite and RF modulator, on the bottom of the motherboard. The yellow composite connector has been replaced with a white one that looks the same as the white audio connector. The composite connector also had a slightly iffy solder joint, though I don't know whether or not that's the issue.

Any idea why composite connector wouldn't give any signal, and how to fix it?
