I fear you have fried your E-mate. I had this happen with an UMP2K. Use only
Apple branded power supplies unless you are very tech/power savvy or you
will blow a small chip/component on the motherboard and it will not power up
at all. My UMP2K will still chime, then act as if it will power up, then
immediately shut off. The fix for this is beyond my capability, but Dr.
Newton aka Dave Watson used to advertise the repair for this.
Hope this helps and sorry for the bad news. ;-(

We trained hard- but it seemed that every time we began to form up into
teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to
meet any new situation by reorganizing- and a wonderful method it can be for
creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency,
and demoralization.
