Change the PRAM battery. 4.5v alkaline IIRC. Radio Shack should have
'em. The stock one is about 1" square. There is a replacement that's
about 1x1.5". It'll work too.

When I power up the system, with monitor attached, the internal cooling
fan spins up, the hard drive spins up (and sounds normal), and the
machine chimes what I seem to recall as being the regular start up sound
for this era of Mac. However, the display remains dark. If I power off
the Mac, leaving the monitor on, the monitor makes a light
static/crackle noise; it's the sort of sound I normally associate with a
monitor that's lost the video input signal. I've played with the
brightness and contrast controls without any success.
