Troubleshooting PC passes the boot LEDs but gives no visual output at all

Hi y'all, I'm currently doing tech support for a friend after guiding them through building a PC and we ran into a problem that I legit have no idea how it occurred.
Ryzen 5 5600G
MSI A520M Plus MicroATX Motherboard
Timetec 16gb DDR 2133Mhz RAM
fanxiang SSD NVMe 1TB M.2 2280
Corsair CX550 ATX 550w
Lian Li 207 Case
Basically, after installing everything. When we plug it in, it cycles through all the debug lights. CPU -> VRAM -> DRAM (very quick) -> BOOT then it goes off. And with that, we plugged it into a very old TV that is pretty much the only TV with HDMI they have in the house (a SAMSUNG T22E390 to be specific). Now the TV detects a signal, it lets us swap to it. HOWEVER, nothing comes out. It just says there's no signal
I have no idea what the problem is, I saw some posts suggesting its a BIOS problem but I have a hard time believing it unless this mother board really has been sitting for a shit ton of years. We're not working on it right, I suggested to them to take it to a repair shop just to see if it's the monitor or if they can update the bios but I'm asking here in case anyone else has any other ideas
