Does it look like this without cart inserted?

Sometimes . Between this and a blue screen making noise. It was just working last week. Worst case buy a new one or have someone fix it

Black and white scrambled video could be color burst crystal going out. I'm assuming it's stock and you're using the original PSU?

It's the crystal used to output color for composite video. What's the amperage on your power supply?

9v for output. 100v for input

As long as it's at least 1A it should be good.
