Problem solved! The power manager reset didn't work so I took the sucker apart and removed every component and cable I could find. And while I was at it I reflowed some more solder on the power supply board 'cuz the repair job I did a year or so ago where the power adapter plugs in was starting to show cracks.
After reassembly, powering it up (with some trepidation) was very rewarding. The screen illuminated faster and the vertical lines are history! Only downside is I lost my excuse for a new 17" PowerBook. Oh well. Maybe later this year... Thanks for the suggestion George.
