Absolutely!
your power button works to turn the system on, correct?
Yes, I couldn't start the system otherwise! :-)
And it is wired to the motherboard?
Yes, and (I mention this only to rule out trivial hardware faults) it worked when this was a Windows box (then to make the system hibernate, so S3 or S4, I think).
Are you holding down the power button for 10 seconds?
No, just pressing and releasing. If I hold it in (actually for four seconds) then then the BIOS unilaterally powers off, and it's fscks time when the system is restarted.
