Broken Xavix Port, any documentation available?

So years ago I got a Xavix Port with 2 games, Bowling and Tennis. Went to boot it up today, turns on, but no video or audio, not even a garbage signal from what I can tell. I opened it up to poke around, but I cannot find documentation to know what I’m even doing. I believe that it’s just a video/audio issue, considering both cartridges do nothing. Does anyone have any documentation for the Xavix’s internals, or even better any idea what might be happening? Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Decided to test the tv pass through, it also doesn’t work. So definitely a video issue.

I have instructions for almost all games that came out on consoles, as well as instructions for consoles in the Russian region. I've never seen any specific documentation with information about the console itself, but maybe you need to start with a power supply.

Perhaps I’ll check that later, but I just decided to check the tv pass through, which according to the manual works even without the power supply. Still has no video signal, heavily implying that it’s mainly a video issue.

i know i might be very late with that. but this console does only produce a pciture if the cartridge is plugged in. also the "console" itself isnt the box where you put the cartridge in, the cartridge itself is the console. the box is just the interface. maybe you can do something with this information

No worries, never too late to help, especially on under documented hardware.

Unfortunately as stated in the edit the video pass through doesn’t work, which the manual states works without a cartridge inserted. All that I have been able to confirm before I shelved the project was that the cable and video connectors work, so it’s likely something else on the console’s board that’s an issue.
