[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1861218, member: 396914"] Well, Charlie, I don't know about that, but what was strange was that the fans ran and the on/off function worked. I had the back off, pushed the on/off button and the fans started up in a second or so. Press the button for 10 seconds, the fans stopped. So the power and function were both there. Over night my brain finally connected up and the idea of the SMC needing reset trickled in. So that, plus the NVRAM reset, were done this morning and it all came back. I guess somehow the SMC got so mucked up that it wouldn't power up the components needed to boot. Strange, but there you go. It's been running fine all day, so I'll keep doing what I'm doing. While I'd like to know exactly what went wrong, I don't need to know strongly enough to risk buggering it up again. I ran the hardware test and the only thing it complained about was, as I said, the non-Apple battery, so it appears no harm was done. I'm in the middle of doing some First Aid on drives that were attached when the first event occurred, but everything seems ok so far. I'm feeling a bit like Neo in Matrix, dodging bullets... [/QUOTE]
