Well, today he plugged his AV cables into his TV, but the video wouldn't appear. Eventually, we narrowed the problem down to a bad connection on the cable. The inner tip of the yellow video cable was barely connected. Sure enough, after some playing around with it, it just fell right off.

Anyway, here's the fix. Since my roommate has a low-def TV, he doesn't need the three other connections on the AV cable. Those are only used for high-def TVs. The cable might have been under warranty still, but we wanted to play right now, not in 6-8 weeks.
All I did was cut off one of the extra connectors, cut off the bad connector, and splice it back together. It was a pretty easy process. Just strip back the insulation and twist together the outer cable. There will be some inner cable within more insulation. Just cut that back and twist it together too. A little electrical cable will give it some support.
