i believe you left the RAM in (as it should be)? given that, i am afraid it could be that your mobo has walked out on you or it could be a corrupted BIOS. remove the battery and unplug from AC then remove CMOS battery. leave it for some time (may be a 30 minutes to an hour as some CMOS do not clear out that fast - per my own experience). then do a power ON (devices attached or not, does not matter).

if that would not give you a POST or a splash screen consider replacing the motherboard or bring it to a repair shop for further diagnosis on the mobo.
