I woke up this afternoon and went to turn on my Mac. I did that. It powered up; the keyboard lights flashed and the hard drive started to spin up. But there was no video. And no startup chime. Being a PC technician, I went to work the best I could. I removed the processor and pressed the CUDA switch for five seconds, and then firmly reseated the processor (604e, 120 MHz). I found out the SCSI cable wasn't plugged in, so I reseated that to no avail. All cables inside and out are now firmly connected, but my Mac won't even give me a sad face, much less a startup chime.
Sounds like it could be a dead pram battery. That can cause all kinds of problems such as yours.
24 hour Radio Shack or compusa nearby?
HTH Len
some processor cards are bummers to reseat properly, clean the connection plates ? (someone I knew used to breathe on them !?!)
aswell as a dead pram will make those symptoms
