At powerup: Power light comes on Fan and hard drive spin up chimes and that's it

nothing on the monitor keyboard combinations (like zapping p ram) do nothing

So I tried opening it up and reseating everything, removing the battery, and hitting the motherboard reset button. And now all it does when I try to power up is the power light on the front of the Mac flashed once and that's it. No other activity from the box at all.

Anyone have any ideas what's wrong with my baby?

Thanks,

Did you try a new PRAM battery?
