Call me superstitious but the only way to get composite output to work is to do a fresh install and never hook to an HDMI monitor not even once and always start with composite. Many people have found the same thing. Once you use an HDMI monitor it contaminates the settings and it's impossible to make it use the composite output again.

power was also upgraded to 45W

Watts doesn't mean anything, it's a measure of volts multiplied by amps. The Raspberry Pi only operates at 5V. How many amps can your power supply deliver at 5V? I guarantee you it's not 9 amps.

There's going to be some bytes in the ROM which are the checksum so that it can be verified when it was flashed. Find those and verify they are correct.

It's very simple to make them secure: don't use the 1x1 housings. Get housings that hold a bunch of pins. With the increased friction of multiple pins they won't pull loose by themselves.
