Thank you all for the help. The problem was indeed with the floppy drive. I replaced with a working one (thank you Jeff) and it worked. But I only know it worked because the floppy disk was not expelled, and I heard the drive sounds as if the System was being loaded. The screen is now dark. I don't see anything. I might have damage something, maybe the video cable? There are two cables that had to be removed: the disk drive cable and another one, which I suppose is video. This last one was very hard to remove. But after putting it back, it looks just as it looked before.
I hope I am forgetting something, as I forgot about the fifth screw.

The cable that's so tough to place is the one that runs from the analog board to the motherboard. Hard to put it on wrong. There's a gap in the connector matching the missing pin on the motherboard.
If it's dark maybe you forgot to put the little end back onto the back of the CRT?

It was the brightness dial. I had turned it all the way to the "dark side" by accident, while I was trying to crack open the case :-)
I wrote about this in a previous message. It is working! Thank you.
Now I am trying to get the external HD that came with it to work. The Plus wouldn't see it. I conected it to a PowerMac 6100. It didn't see it at first, but after 3 restarts it appeared on the screen. There is something wrong with it. When I double click on on its icon, instead of seeing files and folders, I see a lot of garbage characters, as if it were a document. The HD window then closes quickly and the Finder, on the 6100, quits unexpectedly. So I don't know what is on this disk, except for the contents of folder named "Games" which is outside the HD icon, on the Desktop, and can be opened as usual.
I am now trying to format it with Silverlining. Is there an option for hard disk interleave of 3:1?
