also, don't know if your mac has a PMU that you can reset. check the apple website for your model. if the procedure is something you can do on a machine that doesn't boot, then try that. i have seen power outages cause strange behaviors (especially if the PRAM battery was dead or getting weak), and sometimes equally strange things were what succeeded in resurrecting the computer. things that didn't seem to make sense on the surface.
