    suggestion--donate it to a museum of old computers?

    OK...I'm sure you are looking for constructive help.

    The thing that is tossing me is the fact it would power on for a few seconds before going off, but reseating the ram fixed this.

    That symptom would lead me to think faulty DC DC board, which may or may not be built into the motherboard.

    The current symptom, though, sounds like a bad inverter or bad backlight. I was able to download an old user manual and it appears you have both an s-video and vga out port. Have you tried connecting either of those to a display?

    If it works with either, we can safely say inverter or backlight.

    If it does NOT work, its either motherboard, cpu or videochip
