No video output on A1200T with Blizzard 1260

Received very badly packed A1200T with Blizzard 1260 today.  It powers up with some audible hard disc activity, but that's about all I can say.  Getting a black screen.  Any fairly obvious first steps?

Just checking the obvious - do you have a graphics card or using RGB. Have you connected to a TV or a monitor?

Right, just used working 1084 monitor.  To complicate everything, there is a Toaster 4000 board associated with the video and a VidiON adapter.  I don't full understand how everything is rigged up, but the video seems to be one of two problems.  The other is that the CDROM drive will not open even when I press the front open/close button.  So I have a feeling that the problems are more global than just video.  I may need to dismantle the entire system and try to rebuild? :-(
