Preferably remove or disable the eMMC until you get it working again.
With a bootable SD card installed, hold the power button for 30 seconds. This should completely turn off the PBP, if it's actually now powered on and locked up (likely). Then, press the power button again, holding it for a second or so, and it should turn on.
It's possible that you damaged something with static electricity.
What operating system was running when you last shut it down? What is on the eMMC, and what is on the SD card?
I kind of expect that your SD card is not bootable. It should have worked with the eMMC installed, in most cases. Possibly the boot code on your SD card locked up the PBP without turning the LED on. I think this is the most likely situation that you're in.
If ever you do need to disable the eMMC, you don't have to remove it. There's a switch next to it to disable it.
