Macintosh SE blank screen, no P.O.S.T.

Hello,

I have recently purchased a Macintosh SE, which doesn't work. I have recapped both the logic board and analog board, and I have even replaced the RAM. When powering on, the fan starts up but there is no sound coming from the speaker and the screen is black. If I remove one RAM stick, the screen starts to show chaotic noise (which is normal because I haven't changed the jumpers) which means that the CRT circuitry is completely fine. What am I missing? Is there a bad chip that I should replace?

I really don't want to spend 90$ on a new logic board.

P.S: If listening closely to the speaker, it makes a repetitive clicking sound.

Thank you.

I have an extra SE logic that I tested recently - where are you located? Feel free to message me
