Just to be sure- Is the key switched to the ON position? Without the key the machine won't boot.

No; in that case you should short the two wires.
Have you had a look inside the machine? Maybe you are running an accelerator board which has come loose during transit?

Or; worse; it could be the dreaded leaking battery. They usually do lots of damage...

Don't forget to connect the keylock when you do testing !!
(talking from experience here, took a while to find the machine actually worked; but I hadn't connected that darn key; which meant black screen and no sign of life)
