OK.
Can you try this:
(1) Remove all PS2 BNC plugs.
(2) Push the four contact jack fully home into and out of the TV jack socket at least ten times (hopefully to clean the contacts and excercise the jack socket internal switch- if fitted).
(3) Connect the yellow PS2 plug to the TV BNC sockets in turn.
(4) Which connection gives you a picture (there should be no sound from the TV left or right speakers).
No BNC connectors mentioned, that would massively simplify things?

Whoops BNC= Phono. Typo- will correct original post.
Ok thanks everyone I will try in out 10 times tomorrow, sounds like a good idea as that socket has never been used in 5 years.
So buying the lead with the metal instead of plastic will make no difference then. When I look down the connection socket that is actually on the PS2 I can see that there are metal contacts that would connect with a metal plug, unless they are just spring loaded do-dahs to hold any plug in place plastic or metal. Odd taht the OEM sony one is plastic and yet there are after market ones that are metal.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

It is quite normal to have connectors with different constructions. Don't concern yourself with the plastic/metal thing. It could even be that the plastic plug is, overall, a better quality connector.

Oh Sharpie!
I am so surprised that Lady Sharp even allows you to fuck about on a play station, you should be out in the grounds of Sharp Hall doing maintenance not pissing around with the offspring's toys.
Get your wellies on and get out there man, for it will not be long before the visitors start to flood to the Black and Gold painted wrought iron gates at the end of your drive demanding admission to the Stately Home and its opulent grounds.
I feel loathed to mention that the visitors centre could do with a lick of paint, I did notice that the last time the wife and I and the rest of the peasants form Hampshire came up to visit during summer.
The picture below was the one i like to most of your pad, I sneaked the shot as we humbly approached the impressive gateway to the Estate, I got a few dirty looks from staff but they allowed me to keep my camera, for which I am eternally grateful.
Does the PS2 work when you plug it into the other sockets that you don't wish to use? - Just making sure there's nothing wrong with the PS2 and the output lead.
Looking at your original post I may have noticed a problem.
The picture of the sockets at the rear of your TV. You have circled the socket you wish to use, the line of that circle goes through another socket next to the one you're trying to use. To me, it looks like you should be using both sockets. One for Audio (left) and one for video (right).
The easiest option would be to buy a PS2 to HDMI Converter.

Yes, there does seem to be something odd going on because one of the combinations of connections should work OK on most TVs (as far as I know).
My thoughts are that:
(1) there is a specific fault with the system somewhere: jack socket on TV, or phono to jack cable (the PS2 to phono lead has been proved because it works when plugged in the back of the TV).
(2) the TV has a non-standard A/V jack socket arrangement (knowing the TV model may allow this to be resolved)
(3) the output from the PS2 needs to be set up from the configuration menu
(4) the output from the PS2 needs to be set up from the configuration menu
(5) the jack plug is simply not going fully home into the jack socket on the TV for some mechanical reason
This seems to be the most common TRRS (Tip Ring Ring Screen) jack plug audio visual pin out (composite video, individual left and right audio, ground [screen]:

I know this is now a long thread but that has been delt with earlier yes the lead has been used ok when plugged into the back of the tv

The picture is direct from the pdf manual I have not circled it - that is how it is in the manual showing which socket to use.
Here is a picture of the input screen showing that the AV 3 has been plugged into and showing that AV 3 is a YRW - Composite and the second picture is how it looks with the 3.5 plugged all the way in - also comes with a loud buz if I pull out the plug part way the buz gos and I get a proper picture but only sound out of 1 speaker
I know i am no selected the input on the picture but i just moved the selection so that you could see that the AV3 is in colour and live (not greyed out)

Here is the tv LG 55lw550t
I have tried another YRW to 3.5
I have tried different output settings on the PS2

Due to the nature of access I can just about get my fingertips to it so I will get the pliers out and push

Picture from underneath showing the original problem of the AV2 plugs hitting the tv mount and apart from that it is in practical to take the tv off the wall to plug them in even as a temporary measure leaving them bouncing on the tv mount. I hook for the tv mount is on the top so the tv is hinged at the top and pushing down on the plugs and the tv is slightly tilted up because of it.
The ultamate fix would be to buy a PS2 AV to DVI adapter but that's almost not the point now after all this

Component and Composite are different, the PS2 is Composite only, so it won't work.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
Also found this but from the picture it looks the same short bottom section. But why would they be selling it as an LG tV one if its just the same as any other YRW -3.5 the LG ones muse be different somehow

That's the exact one I posted a picture of earlier but mine came with my Samsung tv. I'm sure they are just generic but eBay sellers just list then for specific tv's

But if you look the bottom section nearest the black plastic of that ebay one is longer than the one I am using this picture
