Is the mail Lead-Acid battery any good? If the battery is discharged or
shot, the computer won't power up at all. This may be your problem. I
believe it is a 6V battery. If I'm correct, then one out of a power wheels
thing should work to find out if it's a battery, or a bad computer.

I checked the backup battery and it read 8.7 volts or something, which I
figured was adequate...maybe not?

Actually it should power up with the 9v and the power supply. If
you have a fresh 9v battery and have the unit plugged in and it still
won't come up, then the problem could still be with the drive. Have
you tried removing it and seeing if the unit boots? Also, have you
tried pressing both the reset and nmi buttons on the side to reset
it?
