Would the video still be the problem even if when I boot into open
firmware I can see the text on the screen? Also, the HD doesn't sound like it's crunching and churning like it usually does when the machine boots. I don't doubt that it's the battery, but would it let somehow still load the monitor and video when going into open firmware?<<<
My G3 desktop with failing PRAM battery made many odd things until I replaced the battery. This included no startup, several bomb warnings, no video.... Everything dissappeared miracleously when I put a fresh PRAM battery.
