Hi, Rene: 
  
You recently wrote ...

  The power light, on the front of the case, lights up.  Sorry, but I 
don't recall if any lights on the keyboard lit up.

  OK, I'll give the expansion card thing a shot.  The harddrive does 
spin up, but I get no bootup procedure.  And there is absolutely no 
picture on the monitor -- it is blank.  Even if the HD was dead, you'd 
think it would try to boot off df0: -- but none of that happens.  :-( 
  
  Anyway, thanks for the tips.  I'll see if anything can be done.
