Sorry your system is too old for internet recovery. Your system can only support Lion OS-X 10.7.5 as the highest OS version your system will run.
You’ll need to find the original Grey CD/DVD disks that came with your system, or the retail version. You last option is download the OS installer from another Mac from here: Mac OS X Lion Installer and follow this guide Create a Bootable DVD Copy of OS X Lion Installer
From your description I’m not sure it you’ve have an OS problem alone.
I think you still have a hardware issue. Is this system worth the effort? Its quite limited.
