Take a look at the power on button on the back of the computer.  There
should be a notch in it that you can rotate 90 degrees with a
screwdriver.  Try turning it and see if that cures the problem.

Apple added this feature so that one could set up a computer as a server and
have it automatically turn itself on after a power failure.  For more
information check the manual.
