Thanks for the reply.  The grey screen looks like the one you see when you first book up the miggy... but no workbench screen.

Can the chips really pop out?  I mean, I always thought that was the joke, "drop the amiga 6" from the surface to re-seat the chips".  

Anyway, the battery is great:

I guess my real question is, SHOULD I get a picture out of the video out in the back?  

If so, I'll start pulling cards and diagnosing the thing.

Yes, there should be an image.  The pooper trooper is right about reseating.  If there is no drive activity or lights, you might try disconnecting the drives altogether and see if it boots to a WB prompt then.
Since it's an a2500, you may want to try removing the CPU card and trying again.
