First, a pet peeve: Please use a relevant subject line Second, I would recommend that everyone having trouble with the power manager disconnect the AC adapter, remove the battery and disconnect the PRAM battery. Then leave the computer that way OVERNIGHT. Not just 15 minutes, leave it for a few hours at least. That way, you can be sure that every capacitor in the entire system drains of energy and forces a reload of the powermanager software from the ROM. I did this once when I had a Duo that would only light the LED in the top of the screen casing when plugged in, on battery and in every other conceivable manner. Let it drain and it fired right up. I also recommend simply repeatedly trying to turn it on and off, never know what might happen, I've had that work, too.
