Try the button on the front of the machine.

I guess the power button on the front of the machine is broken, as it does nothing. Thanks! -- Joseph D. Place ATARI FalconCT60, 1040STE, STacy4, Portfolio, 130XE, 400.

Hold the power button down for at least 5 seconds. I found that out the hard way, but it's good protection against hitting it accidentally.

I'm using an optical USB mouse with my Beige G3, but I still keep the ADB keyboard so that I can power it up from the keyboard. Call me old fashioned.
