 That sounds a little like something that happened to me..my little brother,
in his endless helpful way, plugged the modem into the user port, UPSIDE DOWN,
and the computer seemed deader than a doornail..I panicked & sent it off
to a repair shop, and found out for my $80 repair job all they had to do
is replace a fuse in the power supply...it seems that one of them blows
if you short out the user port...I forget the specific value right now,
but it says it right on one of the metal ends of the fuse..assuming your
warrantee's expired, open up your  power supply and make sure neither
of the fuses have blown..if one has, then voila, end of problem..

                Hope I've helped,
