Do you have a 512k card? Take that out first and check if it boots. Otherwise it may be the CPU has failed or something in that area. Take off the cover and check that area.

P.S. Unplug the power first. Don't touch the chips or motherboard without earthing yourself first. Touching the metal RF shield for a few seconds is usually enough.
When you take off the cover there will probably be the RF shield the keyboard connector.

Use a flathead screwdriver to gently release the underside bay.That is where the 512k expansion is.
The other screws are probably torx screws. A phillips head screwdriver was good enough for them in the old days.

The chips are probably fine. It's the tracks that get cut. Someone could repair it if it is worthwhile.
