If the screen remains black and the power on button turns  
yellow-then-green-then-yellow again and then the machine powers itself off,  
your CRT (screen) is not working/broken.

If the screen turns white and stops at a prompt that looks like this: 0>

then you've reached ofw (open firmware) and it's waiting for you to tell it  
how/what to boot.

Good luck with it.
