My daughter's SE (with external 20M HD, otherwise vanilla 2 floppy
setup) refused to turn on yesterday. No power (that is no noises, no
initial diagnostics, nothing). Power was find (HD was whirring
away). Nothing major had happened to machine (ie no drops). After
verifying that all cords, etc., where tight and that there was no
problem in our house sockets, I started to see whether there was 
anything I could do. I could find no external fuses nor any reset
buttons. I didn't want to open the cover. Believing the power of 
prayer (:>) I tried the machine again, and low and behold it worked.
Does anyone have any ideas? (The SE had been moved between houses a
few weeks before, but it had worked for two weeks in the new
location. Should I fear moving the machine again?)

Thanks in advance for any help
