egypturnashI got my computer back!
A guy from the phone company came to hook up the phone again - he said it looked like someone had been doing some other work in the phone box out back, and accidentally disconnected us. And then the phone rang this evening. The Apple Store got a late shipment that included the power management board for my machine.
I slacked around for a half hour or so with the video game I was playing when they called, then bounced on off to the store. Got the box. Hauled it home. Plugged it in, turned it on, was happy to see it start up. Turned it back off because I had to put the 100-gig HD with most of my data back in, powered back up.
The power key on the ol' keyboard still doesn't seem to power it up, but it does work to make it shut down or go to sleep. And now the power light comes on. Yay. But more importantly my computer works!!!!!!!
