Problem with starting the PC.
Problem with starting the PC.
How much time have you been waiting? For instance, if your motherboard battery is dead, it might take longer to start than normal, but fixing it is simple—just replace the battery.
We recently changed the wall plugs to lower the electricity cost, even though they draw very little power. My partner is pushing back, saying it’s not worth the fight, but I’m only leaving them off for about a day—should be enough to affect anything.
I noted in another comment that I turn it off at the wall, but only for up to one day at a time. I've attempted to leave it on again without overriding the power setting on the MB, but nothing worked. I plan to check the MB battery next.
I understand this discussion we've shared with my girlfriend—it’s often met with dismissive comments, and I get that. However, this topic is important now.
