Dead MacPlus

I've got a MacPlus that is dead.  On power up it doesn't even beep and
never goes to the 'sad face mac'.  I know this is a bad sign, but is there
anything I can try before taking it in for the customary $300 board swap?
I've disconnected everything from it and I can hear the internal drive
turning after the power goes on. If I open the sucker up I could try some
wiggle and jiggle and reslots, but I'd rather not if there's something
external I could try.  This is the first time I've seen a totally blank
screen failure and no beep.  Any help is appreciated ... thanks in advance.
