I just received a Power Macintosh 5500/250 and the device does not power
on. I get the bong indicating that it powered on, however, the builtin
Monitor does not turn on, nor does the green light in front. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Check the PRAM battery or try simply removing it.

Replacing the logic board resolved it. Makes me think it’s the logic board. On the bright side, the new one is 300mhz instead of 250.
