Raspberry Pi Machine Not Working ... No Signal

So, I purchased a MAME arcade machine that uses Raspberry Pi a few years back... It worked great for two years, but now it doesn't. Before I continue, let me warn you that my knowledge is VERY limited when related to raspberry pi ... so please be gentle and keep any advice simple.
So, when I turn on the TV, I get the typical startup screen (See #1 here: https://ibb.co/2W37Ys1) ... but when I choose the "Arcade" (which should point to the HDMI port, where the Raspberry Pi board is connected), I get a "no signal" warning (See #2 here: https://ibb.co/2W37Ys1). You can see the setup in #3 here: https://ibb.co/2W37Ys1 . Here are things that I have tried....
1. I have tried a different HDMI cable, in case that was the issue. That didn't work.
2. Instead of using my TV, I tried plugging the HDMI cable into my tablet (to see if it registered anything), but that didn't work...
3. I even purchased a new Raspberry Pi board, plugged everything in, and inserted my storage chip... but that did work... (See #4 here: https://ibb.co/2W37Ys1)
Anyone have any ideas were to start? I would really like to get this working again....

Here's the thing: we don't know anything about what whoever sold you that machine did to customize it, so we can't support it. If you'd taken the time to learn how to set up MAME yourself, you'd be in a much better position to handle when things go wrong. In addition, buying and selling plug-and-play MAME setups is both extremely illegal and very disrespectful towards the MAME developers.
That said, given what you've shown either the Pi itself or the power brick is dead. (Could be the memory card too I guess, you could try writing stock Raspbian to another card and see if that works).
