So, I have this Atari Lynx, and it's got the backlight on, it plays sound, runs with batteries, all the dials function, but, whenever I turn it on, it doesn't matter what game, for some reason, I get nothing but a black screen. No video. Nothing. But I do have sound, which is weird. Help me please!

Here is the video I put on YouTube -

I've taken it apart, made sure all the connections were secure...I've heard it was a capacitor, but I wanted to run it by the forums.
