It could be the outcome of at least three causes:
1. The Power switch contacts are bad, and need to be replaced.
2. The Power supply have a problem.
3. There is a delay somewhere, so you will need to press the power switch continuously, until the computer will go working normally.
4. If nothing helps, take it to the maintenance lab.
I plugged my computer into a station that was running 230v power. It will no longer turn on of course. I would like to know what will need to be replaced to repair it. I was thinking it would be the whole power supply, am I correct?

Lightning struck near my house last night causing my accidentally plugged in laptop to spark at the place where it was plugged in. the laptop works but refuses to charge. Is this an internal problem or a problem with the power cord?

You're reading When I push the power button on my PC, it starts to power on, then stops. If I keep pressing, it tends to work eventually. What could be wrong?
