Have you made sure the game or games you are using to test the system are absolutely clean? My Famicom does this from time to time when my games get dirty. Take a cotton swab and some alcohol and clean the pins of the game if you have not already done so.

How do you have the Famicom connected to the TV?  RF Adapter?  A/V cables?  Through a VCR?  What channel do you have TV tuned to?

I haven't heard of a PAL TV that will work with a Famicom via the RF adapter (but I guess they might exist?).  For NTSC TVs, you need to tune into channel 95 or 96 to get it to work.  What channels have you tried?

I've seen them. They exists but they are rare. Try all channels and see if you can get something that resembles a picture at all.

So enter the service menu press these buttons in the following order :

(on screen display) -> 5 -> volume up ->  tv

and then tt will show on your  corner

and with 19 you can enable disable NTSC :)
