Colour classic

Hi, first time poster here.

i recently acquired a Mac colour classic, for resto. Non booting and in a bad state of repair.

long story short.. I have now managed to get the classic to start, and have replaced all the caps on the logic board.

when soft started from the key board, there is a nice loud bong!, green light says go!

tha fan starts, and screen comes on, then nothing. The original HDD has been removed as it was dead. But shouldn’t the screen eventually 

show a flashing disk icon? Mouse cursor.?

i sat it for 30 mins. Hoping , but just a grey screen.

any help would be really appreciated . Thanks

Yes, mouse cursor first, then flashing icon.

Something is holding the boot process.

Ram is okay ? (probably fine, don't think it will get to the screen)
