My experience with eMacs that suddenly stop working after being unplugged for a 
while is to check the logic board and the down converter plugged into it for 
bad capacitors. Up to 7 of the 11-12 caps on the down converter daughter board 
can show bulging and/or leaking. Since the down converter powers everything 
connected to the logic board, a bad one can have the same effect on startup as 
a bad power supply in the analog/video assembly.

The fix is to replace the down converter with a known-good used or new one -- 
if one can be found, or replace the bad caps, which will entail more than a 
little effort to identify and then procure the replacements.

Been there, fixed 'em.
