Tried recapping a Sega Genesis myself and it fixed the sound but killed the video output

I swapped all the capacitors on my Model 1 Genesis and now the audio is crystal clear but the video is just a black screen, has anyone else messed up a cap job and figured out which tiny solder bridge I probably made?

My first recap job on a Neo Geo did the exact same thing - perfect audio, no video. Turned out I'd accidentally lifted a tiny trace near the RGB output while desoldering.

Did you check for any bent pins on the video encoder chip?
