Maybe you should attach the screen to some other device with composite, so you can test the screen itself first.
If it works, (for instance with a digital camera or something) there's a problem with the video out from the pi to the screen.
You should also try a new image, and or check video settings.

Did you activate the AV out on the pi ? my guess is that it's off by standard, think you have to switch it on first (on the pi)
