Acorn a5000 booting

So my acorn is being weird. i have no display output whatsoever, and the harddrive spins up, then down, then up again for a bit and then i assume it turns off. the Floppy light does not flash, just stays on and no boot sound plays. after thermal testing (my finger) everything i expect to be warm was (CPU, ram, ram expansion and the rom was warm-ish) i took out the battery as i was told to somewhere online (cant remember where). I would LOVE some help, it is my first retro computer and would love to use it, thanks!
