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.
