perhaps you got positive and ground confused on the video part. Maybe you should check your connections.

If you have sound, it is not a problem of power supply,are you sure your wire is connected on pin 9 of the snes board ?

If you think all is wired right but doesn't works you can bypass the fuse of the screen to see if it is fried or not.
Can you take a picture of your system?In detail if it's possible.

my dad said that if you take your meter and try to check resistance and put 1 lead on each side of the fuse and you get a reading your fuse is not blown. i tried that and it said the fuse wasnt blown so now i am in mystery. i will look over my wiring again.
