Component video problem......kotches?

I took a look inside. It is not the RCA jacks. They all checked out. I followed the signal path to a separate board with a few very large IC chips, and then couldn't figure out what went where. At least I made sure that the signal path is not the problem until reaching that board.

I also noticed that the red signal is present, but very weak compared to other two signals (Green and Blue). When I plug in only the Green cable, the picture is completely B&W. Then with the Red cable in the picture takes on a very faint red hue. Then with the Blue cable the picture turns into the yello-and-blue affair I've described earlier.

I don't think I can fix this one myself, as it certainly is not a simple matter of faulty connection.

I will have to use the S-Video connection, but I'm not too pleased with that. I would still like to know how it is possible to arrive at this kind of condition, in that every single function in the TV is normal but the Red component input signal.
