I’ll get the ball started…
The audio flex can be fragile, so you may want to test the rest of your install separately/first. This puts less wear and tear on it if you have to troubleshoot or install additional mods. The issue is that PS1Digital needs 5V and gets that from the audio flex. To test without an audio flex you can jump 5v from the console to the 5v test point/thru-hole next to the audio flex connector.
If you have more work to do, like XStation or PSNee+drive tweaking, I recommend jumping 5v and doing the audio flex last.
Consequently, if you did not jump 5v and have no video but analog works, check to make sure 5v is getting to the PS1Digital board through the audio flex.
You can get 5v from the four vias arranged in a square just down and to the right from the audio IC. It should have continuity with at least three pins on that side of the audio IC. There’s even an unused footprint/solder pad on that plane to the right of IC308.
