You should try to reset the power manager.  This is normally not a 
user-service activity, but if you are careful you can do it yourself. 
Note that the enclosed directions may not reflect your particular Mac 
model.

Warning!  Be sure you unplug the power cord before you try this!


 1. Disconnect the power cord.

 2. Press the PMU reset switch (S1) once on the logic board. Do not 
press the PMU reset switch a second time because it could stop the PMU 
chip from responding.  (See 
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95035)

 3. Wait ten seconds before connecting the power cord and turning the 
computer on.  If the computer does not turn on, there is something else 
wrong with the computer.

Note: This entire procedure resets the computer's PRAM. Be sure to 
reset the computer's time, date, and other system parameter settings.
