    Hi!

    I have a strange problem with a Satellite C650. Sometimes when I try to turn it on, only the power, caps lock and num lock LEDs flash once (if on battery) or every few seconds (if on AC adapter) and nothing else happens. No fan spinning, HDD noise...

    I have to press the power button for a few times till it eventually turns on and boots into OS. Then it's working just fine.

    Any ideas for a solution or is the power circuitry on the mobo faulty?
