Hallo Laze,

One of  the 6526 CIA's should supply the interrupt signal.

Is it just the normal start-up sequence or the one a C128 does i.e. auto
start?

My advice: try exchanging the CIA's first. AFAIK they aren't soldered do
that shouldn't be much trouble. If possible, exchange them with a
working system. If no result, the 8502 is may be to blame.
A brooken colour-RAM doesn't explain the missing cursor but one of the
CIA's also controls the video partly. So another reason to look at them
first.
