Considerations: Most likely (IMHO) PRAM Battery may be dead. Some machines will not boot if this happens. RAM chip may be loose, as mentioned--since this machine uses RAM to drive video--you won't get anything. I bought a machine like your off of eBay and had the same problem. It was a loose chip. Processor may be loose. My brother gave his C600 to his son-in-law and in the trip to LA, both RAM chips and the processor became unseated.
