With a fresh PRAM battery, all peripherals except keyboard and
monitor disconnected, and the HD's disconnected... Do you get a
bong? Do you get any video stutter?
Try resetting the PMU.
Try pulling the DIMMs. Then you should get a broken glass sound or
some other chord.
Could it be that the power supply has gone bad?
Possibly, since the failure is apparently pre- self-test (that which
produces the bong when successful).
Or is there possibly a problem with the RAM?
Doubtful. The machine would fail the RAM controller check and make
noise at you.
Do you have the tech manual for this machine?
