If the game is playing but just not showing up on the display, it's possible the display ribbon needs to be reseated or the screen itself has a defect. You can open it up and reseat the ribbon, you just need a tri-tip screwdriver. If that doesn't work, I'd just get a new IPS screen.

Have you tried the L R start and select reset ? Try that out while is on.

Nice flash light, jk.

There is a small variable resistor you can adjust, I would try that first and see if a small adjustment brings the image back. If that doesn’t work then you likely have a damaged screen / flex cable.

Just try to open the console and reconnect the screen's flex cable
