I've had success using the hardware power symbol on a button (a circle, broken at the top, with a vertical bar - there's probably one on your monitor). If the power is on, the button is lit green, the other controls it affects are enabled. If the power is off, the power button is displayed unlit and the other controls it affects are grayed and disabled. On a mobile client used in bright light I also needed to display a gray power icon next to powered down communications channels since the lighting effects could sometimes wash out.
The power symbol is well enough understood that it can be small and tucked out of the way.
