What you've done so far is about right. No video flicker at all? Have you zapped the pram? Replaced the pram battery? Clean the speaker; reseat its cable. Disconnect everything from both IDE buses. Pull all the memory. Try booting - you should hear error beeps etc. Try cleaning the video card - it's contacts and slot. Try putting the video card in a different slot.
(1) Is there any way to see if the computer works at all, when there's no display available?
BONG boot Telnet in (if set-up); moot without special s/w on OS 9.
(2) Is there an Apple Hardware Test (AHT) available for the G3?
Not that I know of. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth.
