Try unplugging the HD and see if it gets to the ? disk screen.  If so, you've got a dead HD.  If not, you may have a dead logic, and what you're hearing is the inverter section on the board trying to crank up. 

Do pull the PRAM batt for awhile, reset the Power Manager (30-45 sec hold on reset btn on reverse, no AC, no battery) and try again.  Might have just gone wonky.

I may have a 250 mg HD around here still, and I do have a good 280 logic, which will need an orig. clock chip reinstalled (currently hacked for 40 mhz....).
