    Hm, hard to guess what could go wrong. Are you sure that the ICs are working fine? I've got one faulty CPU which fails hardware tests but runs certain demos. Maybe the CPU is detected by passing PHI2 but isn't doing anything else. Or one of the CIAs is faulty and can't access certain functions. Is it the same result when you swap the CIAs?
    Using the terminal, have you tried to set all the functions in the menu 'M' to default? Should be a standard setting by default but perhaps it got changed.

    Do you have established the USB connection and can you access the board by a terminal program?
    The issue with the cable sounds weird, do you have any other cable to test it? Usually a standard S-Video cable, used for older video cameras for example, should work. What kind of television or monitor do you use?
    The whole thing with the Basic ROM sounds strange since there is no dedicated ROM anymore. Accessing the board via USB and terminal could provide some hints or at least provide the chance to reset the settings.
