Okay.
I just tried my mouse in it.
It powers it for a split second.

Have you run the Apple Hardware Test Utility to see if anything comes up there? Insert one of the installation discs (don't remember which one has it), restart, and hold down the Option key when you hear the startup chime. You should then see the option of booting to the Apple Hardware Test Utility.
