Sid replies to Greg's expert advice:

Greg, you nailed it! It was exactly that pesky little fuse on the
motherboard. That site you linked me to had a link for the fuse I needed,
and I've already ordered it. I checked the fuse with a meter (though with a
magnifier, I was able to visually see the link broken.

I have a small 10 watt soldering iron, but I've never tried to solder
anything this small-- but I'm up for this challenge. Gotta go dig out that
electronics tools catalog I got years ago when I was working on old 35 mm
SLRs. I suppose there is an even smaller soldering set up for work like
this? 
Thanks Again!!
