Troubleshooting the Nintendo 64

First off, I didn't know where to post this.

Something weird is happening with my N64

I just dug my N64 out of storage to play Castlevania 64 (Found it cheap at a garage sale)
The last time I played my console was 6-8months ago, so I thought it would work fine.

I've set it up, cleaned/blew (Condensed Air) all the dust out, and cleaned the cartridge up to be spot.

When I start up the system, there is no video and very broken sound. It'll detect the video for a second, play whatever sound is running, then say no input.
I've reseated the game, tried other games, removed and re-seated the jumper pack, and even tried other cords and none of it helped.

I just tested it on my stream, and it worked fine in my STREAM (S-video) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/402146597 and (Composite) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/402147846

So I am wondering if my new TV can't detect it due to the N64's resolution, or something else entirely.

Here's a video of what I get on the TV - https://youtu.be/TRkWFm55VFM

I've also tried connecting it directly to the TV instead of the splitter box I am using.

 
You'd probably have to try that N64 with a different television, or that television with a different N64 for a proper diagnosis.
