I would start with the PCB. The monitor looks okay. you can plug the PCB into a normal TV using composite.

Re-seat the board, it's shaped like an "L".  You can clean the male edge connector with a pencil eraser carefully.check your voltages, and re-seat the few chips that are socketed. Should get it going, not much to go wrong with it.

I could burn you one if you wanted to try this. If you ship it back to me I won't even charge you!
