    hi
    everytime i switch on mob light comes on and the lights at the front (led and dvd) nothing on screen then it turns off except mob light.
    so i turn off the power and try again, this morning it was 3 tries before before it stays on but i still have a blank screen, there is one led light on next to the restart button i pressed the restart and the start up screen came on. then everthing is fine. what do you reckon?

    I'd vote that the power supply is failing. That or the switch on the case.

    Wouldn't hurt to check for buldging caps on the mobo.

    Some machines I have worked on won't start if the CMOS battery is low.
