My 3DO no longer has video and audio?

I went to turn on my Goldstar 3DO today and could not get ANY indication on my TV that the 3DO was getting audio or video, just "no signal" on my LCD HDTV. I tried changing my composite cables and even the TV, but still nothing. The system turns on and the red "ready" button lights up and the green "Access" light turns on when no disc is inserted and tends to no longer light up when I put in a disc (never paid an attention to this before today though).
Are my RCA inputs shot or something? I tried googling this and could find nothing...any help is appreciated!

If it's both at the same time, you're likely dealing with a shot cord. If you have an AV television (ie purchased after the Dark Ages) you just need a standard AV cable. You can find them for a few bucks, probably.

I have tried 2 different AV cables, one I use all the time with my Dazzle recorder (and just was using it like a few minutes prior) and another that I had no problems with in the past, I think the inputs for the AV on the 3DO are shot and not the cables.

I doubt it's the contacts themselves, going out all at once is too against the odds. You might have something disconnected inside the unit.
