I have uploaded a video outlining my work on an SNES board that fails to show games (no audio or colors other than black):

Basically I've tried everything I know I can try... replacing all capacitors and fuses. Gave the board itself a very thorough clean and also cleaned the contacts numerous times, as well as exchanging different contacts and sound modules (all have new capacitors as well). I even left my SNES plugged in and turned on for a couple of hours, just to see if somehow it would hum back to life. Pointless attempt, but whatever... getting desperate.
All it can do is turn on, shows the red LED is working. The screen on my TV simply displays black.
I have tried repairing a number of SNES boards by now with no success. This board was in pretty good condition too, so I figured it might work. But nope. Again with the black screen of death.
I have gotten so many SNES consoles, just trying to see if I can resurrect them, but it seems almost like maybe this system is impossible to save. If someone here can point me in the right direction, that'd be great.
I have a multimeter if that helps.
