This is the first Genesis I have ever owned so I'm very new to this console

No video from the Av port and the RF has sound and very slight video but I just see the faint white text before the game and then just black rolling screen, audio sounds fine from RF and headphone jack on the front

I tested the av port connections and they are ok, I did find a broken joint in the RF modulator (circled in a picture) and fixed it

I also tested most of the capacitors and found a small Cap on the bottom that is shorted to ground on both sides c37 also circled in a picture but I'm not sure if thats normal.

I'm thinking a capacitor problem but any information would be appreciated on what to look at first and any general information about the genesis would be great
