Exactly the same as what i'm doing.

I left it plugged into power for about 20 mins, and then it started powering up fine. Powered off/on a few times. Then un-plugged it, and plugged back in, and then wouldn't power up again - even after being left in.

Got it apart now, and looks like the capacitors on the power supply are dead - which searching on line, looks VERY common. With the "test" that I did above, it makes sense as well.

Got the caps i.d'ed now, so job for tomorrow is to find some!
