Aside from the chips/sockets fix, verify that the keyboard light comes on.
If the bulb is dead the system will not boot (someone can "2nd" this).
Verify that the keyboard reset key is not stuck.  Overall I'd find a
working system and compare/contrast voltages at key obvious points.  Verify
your boot media and disk drive are OK by comparing with a known-working
system.

Where are you located?  Maybe someone near you can offer to assist.
