So my power button has inexplicably stopped working. I got one of the dreaded hard freezes that the fifty page thread is about, and went to do a cmd-ctrl-Power to restart and nothing happened... Kept pushing, still nothing happened. Eventually I popped out the battery to get it to shut down, and still nothing happens when I press the power button. My battery isn't dead. Nothing happens even when its plugged in. Any suggestions, or am I just going to have to send this in to Apple?

P.S. Is there any way to externally power up the computer? Anything other than the power button that will turn it on?
