I will pull out the motherboard and give it a good cleaning, and see if things are working after that. All 4 RAM slots are populated, but the larger SIMM next to the RAM is empty.

That larger SIMM is for a ROM upgrade that was never made. The ROM should already be soldered down on the IIsi logic board (unless it is a fairly rare model) so it should not matter that that socket is empty.
