    So I was wondering, my mom's Extensa had this issue for a while but when I tried to use it myself already it got me annoyed! Back then when I noticed that the laptop powers on about 30 seconds after I press the power button, I went to BIOS and set the power-on delay to 0 (which mysteriously was set to 30 even though my mom isn't into tinkering her notebook) but now it powers on for like more than 5 minutes--it doesn't respond no matter how many times you press the power on button! And what's worse is that the power-on delay setting is already in 0. Have any of you guys experienced this?

    Any BIOS updates for that laptop?
    Read the change log first.

    I did update the bios already, and it doesn't have anything about power-on things..
