They'd always started the computer simply by flicking the wall switch, and it'd power up and boot with no further input. Then one day some setting / update upset the BIOS power settings and it would no longer boot on resumption of power supply. They only tried the usual technique of flicking the wall switch. I just bent over, pressed the Power button, and away it went (what do you say to someone in such a dumbass situation as having to introduce them to the power button!!??) Anyway, I'm just trying to say... make sure you've tried EVERYTHING. And in case your PSU is struggling, remove all unneccessary USB drives / accessories and try again.	Paul.Cov (425)

Personally I wouldn't care, if something fails the it gets returned to the point of purchase, and they can deal with the manufacturer or importer. Anyhow, a couple of people have told me that Asus support is now being controlled from Skippyland and not as good as it once was. But again, who would ring them?, The point of sale is your contact.
