Macintosh SE Issues

Hey everyone, I was given a Macintosh SE that worked from a friend in another state as a gift, and i of course had to have it shipped from my friend to me. Well I know my friend wouldn't lie about the computer working when it didn't, so what could have broken during shipping? Before shipping it worked fine, but now I can't figure out what is the matter.

When I flip the power switch, I hear the little ding sound you hear everytime you boot it up, the fan kicks in, and I hear the hard drive make some sounds, I can't really describe it but I made a recording of it if its possible to post to the Apple Support Communities. There is nothing on the screen at all, not even a flicker when I try to boot. Every time the hard drive makes noise the little amber coloured light on the front lights up and turns back off when the drive stops making noise. Do I need a new hard drive? And is there anyway to test whether or not the screen works before I swap out the hard drives? I just want to be sure the monitor is not broken before I spend money to fix it. Thanks for your help.

And one more question: Does anyone know what this is?
