There is a little screw at the back to adjust contrast. Yeah I know, if you replacer th transformer, you probably saw it (if only because it annoyed you when putting the cover back).

The flyback transformer of the video part might be dead. Or they are dry solders inside. Mine sometime goes like that; power on, but nothing appears on screen. Some slaps on his face solve the problem (but I need to take it apart and reflow all the critical solders).
