Frank,
I appreciate so much your excellent explanation and guidance! I popped the
eMate open the other day (following your excellent online instructions)
and had a look about, and know exactly which fuse you're describing. I
shall have the chance to get inside again later this week, and will test
the fuse while praying to Sir Isaac himself that it's the simple fix
you've explained. If it's not, I'll certainly take advantage of your offer
of assistance.
Thanks again, you're a handy guide!
-Ken

If you are lucky, all you have killed is the fuse.
Have a look at this image:

It is the component labeled "50" (on the component) and
"F1" (on the mainboard) that lives close to the
battery connector. Referring to the image mentioned above,
it is to the left of the black tape strip.
Get a multimeter and make sure the fuse isn't blown. If it is,
leave it where it is and solder a 1.2A slow-blow fuse across it
temporarily. Do not put the battery pack back in, the mainboard
will start without a battery. Get an original power adapter,
or use yours after you have measured at the (unconnected) plug
of yours that the voltage is between 6 and 7.5 Volt.
