Aha!  Well I made a guess at the jumper setting and apparently I got lucky.
It now boots from the drive to a second monitor.
But when I try to boot from the imac monitor, it dies again.

So is it the monitor that is bad or the video card?

Neither.  It's most likely a dead AV board.  Open it up. Take ALL the 
plastic off. Take off the tin shield over the CRT.  Look at the screen. 
The board on the left side of the machine is the AV board. There's a 
company in Eugene, OR that repairs 'em for $130. Google Microdoc. Else 
you can try your luck on ebay. Apple also sells them.  About $175 IIRC.
