Just a thought - fry pulling the PSU and PRAM battery off the board and leaving it to stand for a few hours (I do mine then go to bed and try them the next morning). A Mac left standing for 6 months is quite likely to have drained the PRAM battery almost completely, and as it died the PRAM becomes unstable under the wrong conditions. I've had no end (well, about 4 to date) instances of PowerMacs doing this at some point or other. Same symptoms, chime, not boot, black screen etc. Curiously despite all the flakey PRAM batteries I've encountered it's never happened on a 68k in my possession...
