Sometimes cables, cards and SIMMs can become dislodged, which could cause problems. I've found that in 80 percent of cases when soemthing stops working, taking it apart and re-assembling it does the trick.

Logic board outside of case: unstressed by cables or mounting points.

Logic board inside of case: opposite.

Death chimes mean that it is trying to boot. Think SCSI.
