I do not have a ROM chip. Could that be it?? >Please help me!! You do not have a ROM on the motherboard, or you do not have one in the "ROM Upgrade Slot"? The former is bad, the latter probably OK. If it's making music, it must have a ROM, 'cuz the music is in ROM. What sort of "music" is it making? Is it just the single "phong" tone saying that it's on and working, or is it playing a little series of notes? If its the latter, you've got some bad hardware somewhere.
Try yanking 7 RAM sticks, the cache, the netcard and the Xclaim, disconnecting the powersupply from the mobo, taking the mobo battery out, and pressing the CUDA reset button. Let it sit for a few minutes, then reinstall the battery and reconnect the powersupply. Hook a monitor up to the onboard video and see what the mac does. If it works, put everything back, one thing at a time until something makes it stop working. That's your culprit (or maybe worse, it's not that thing but the combination of that thing and another thing...). I'm gonna take a wild stab and guess that your cache is bad.
