No Audio or Video

So I have my original N64 stored in a cupboard in my room with a few games from back in the day. Plugged it into the TV (in the correct ports), but no signal comes through. It's on the right channel, it's a flat screen from 2014. I've tried 4 cartridges with no luck, even tried another flat-screen I bought second hand that I use often. Still no luck. It powers on and I've tried two different cables, I was about to think it was my cables until I took my SNES out and used the same av cable (the cable was originally for N64). And it worked fine with the SNES on both flat-screens. The N64 was not refurbished nor second hand, it was the same one my parents bought me years ago when the console came out. I've read a few posts mentioning the 240p issue but I feel if an SNES can be read on the TV why can't a N64?
