I'd take the memories out and replace them as outline in my first message. This Mac won't boot with the monitor cable removed, but should boot with it attached, even if the monitor is bad. Battery won't keep the LC II from booting. Bad RAM makes it chime strangely. If you watch it boot with the lid off, and the fan spins, the hard disk spins, and the memories are all socketed firmly, then unless the motherboard is dead, (inspect it), it uoght to fire up.
