First off, does the fan, at least, start up? If not, the power supply is probably dead. Otherwise, try the following until you get something on the monitor:
1) Disconnect the SCSI chain and the floppy drive. Make sure everything else is firmly connected. If nothing else is wrong, you'll get a lit screen with a floppy disk icon and flashing question mark on startup. 2) Try switching the mouse and keyboard -- or try starting up without them! 3) Try replacing everything in the "bad" 7500 -- RAM, VRAM, processor card, cache dimm, battery, whatever -- with the corresponding components from the working 7500. Do one or a few at a time, then check to see if the thing works. Don't forget to press the CUDA button before restarting after each set of replacements. If none of this works, you've probably got a bad logic board plus a collection of useful parts for the other 7500 and the 7200. - Aaron -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
