I recently dug out my old gameboy, but despite supplying power, I do not get the logo block or sound when turned on. the led is red, though that just proves the led works.
I've tried with and without a cartridge, and with an 6V AC Adaptor, as well as four AA batteries that are fully charged.

I've measured the voltage on the contrast, and I get a range of about 0.05 to 10V on the pot.

I couldn't find a voltage differential on the audio pot however. should there be one there yet if a startup hasn't occurred?
