For a few weeks I have been having to press the button on the PC case a few times after plugging it in before I could hear power sparking the PC up.
Then for about 3 days I have to leave the power on to the machine a couple of minutes before pressing the case button. This morning it was like 5 minutes or more before the button would spark the PC up.
It looks like a deterioration problem and at some stage is not going to switch on at all.
Does anyone know what component is that could be causing the problem? And if something like a faulty capacitor where would it be, i.e. case, power unit, MB etc.
