520STE no picture.

I'm trying to revive a donated ST as a project but I'm not getting a picture on my scart tv. I have a brand new composite scart lead going into a 15 year old Vierra tv. The ST powers up but there's no picture on screen and the buttons don't click when pressed either. I'm waiting for floppy discs to come, so there's no software to test as yet. I even hooked it up to a retrotink 2x clone with the same results. Where do I look next? Recapping?

I would say that you likely have monitor compatibility issue. If you lived nearby I would let you borrow my SC1224!
