Ti 994a issue please help - Car Guy - 03-24-2018

Hey guys i just recently started picking up electronics since i baught a house in the city, now i have thrift stores and space haha

Anyway i got a ti 994a today. Its my first pc older than windows 95. It was 30$

I played with the rf modulator and figured i could wire rca style plugs to the cable, i used 25 foot subwoofer stereo cables to reach my flatscreen

It seams i have video and can hear beeps when i press keys, but i all i get is the color strips, then i press a key and it the color bars dissapear. No text like i see on youtube videos

 Any ideas? Ide appreciate some, Thank you!

Any luck yet?  It may possibly be a video RAM failure.  Take a look:
