Lots of photosCan you show us photos of both sides of the CPU card? Including the part numbers.
Not having a cache will heavily degrade performance, but not stop the computer working. If you have a G3 or G4 upgrade, you don't need the cache anyway.
Not having any VRAM in that board means the onboard video won't work. I think they came with two 1MB sticks as stock. It might work with just one (because the 7200 sort of did... in a way... kind of).
OK, your 7500 has a G3 upgrade and an ATI Mach64 Graphics card. You don't need a cache. Onboard video won't work, but that card probably will.
That is a tricked out machine.
Your issue might be that someone has fiddled with the dip switches on the processor. Can you photograph them so I can see how they are set?
Plug headphones in and see if it chimes through headphones?It now powers on with cpu power. No chime. Cannot test display as my Mac to vga adapter has not arrived and it is not compatible with my LC monitor.
Just did. No chimePlug headphones in and see if it chimes through headphones?
It is 00:48 here atm. I can check if it needs VRAM to chime tomorrow with my 8600.Just did. No chime

I tried pulling it out but it won’t come out. I don’t know if it’s stubborn or if I’m doing something wrongNo. I am afraid to as it is mainly plastic and I have only removed ram on modern pcs and the iici
Leave it for now. Sadly your board doesn't have eject leavers. Mine do.I tried pulling it out but it won’t come out. I don’t know if it’s stubborn or if I’m doing something wrong
