Composite video is broken on my Master System. Any help welcome.

I've connected the composite output to my TV and it is all over the place.
It is black and white and can't stop skipping all over the screen. I fear there might be a broken component somewhere, as of now I am stuck with RF video output.
The sound RCA is also not working either. I am getting the composite video and sound from the DIN connector on the back.
Attached video of the issues

Is it possible your cable is damaged? That would be the easiest fix. I had something like this happen on one of my consoles before and it was fixed once I bought a new cable.

Will try it tomorrow when I get to the console, obvious solution sometimes is the one. :)

While it may not be the fix in this case, I've found a few SMS' that needed the pins on the A/V port re-flowed. Nothing special, I just used a soldering iron, heated each pin and added a tiny bit more solder to each.

Not sure if you have done so already. But might be worth checking another device/console with the composite input for the TV?
Was the master system working on the TV previously?
Is the TV and console the same format. PAL vs NTSC? I know some tuners in Samsung TVs can be dicky if the formats miss match.
If everything is all ok then I would check the AV port and the cable too. Wouldn't hurt to do a visual inspection on the capacitors near the AV port too.
