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?
