I had a similar problem - the programmers button and the reset switch 
are not functioning. Do you get power to the ADC connector?
None of these work on my Cube, but I don't really need any of them (at 
the moment)

I managed to flash the firmware despite this probem, can't quite 
remember how. It was along the lines of running the firmware update,
instead of clicking the shut down button I held the power button down 
until the machine powered off. I may have held down
command-option-p-r at startup, or command-option-o-f (I think this is 
the combination to enter open firmware).

If this doesn't work - persevere! I definetly had this problem but 
managed a firmware update without using the programmers button.

Cheers,
