Well, do you have disk drives for the machine? It has been so
long since my ][+ bit the dust that I can't remember if it
"bonged" on power on or not.

It seems that the only thing it did was clack the drives looking
for a boot disk.

Wiggling the video cable most likely just creates transients
that show as "static" on the monitor. You really need a floppy
drive to see if the thing works.
