No Sync?

I recently purchased a used Sony 42" plasma TV.  It has power, but does not show a picture.  I connected it to my satelite box using the coaxial cable, and nothing happens.  Then I conncected my DVD player with the A/V cable, and when I go to the correct input channel the top right of the screen reads video1 No sync?  The screen however stays black.  Is there something that I have not done, or is the TV broken beyond repair?

No audio or video on the composite inputs (Video 1,2, and 3). Component input may have audio but typically does not have video. 

Replace B board.
