Hi Everyone,
Recently my imac has issues powering on. It simply does not turn on with the touch of a button. Usuaully I have to disconnect the power cord, mouse, keyboard etc then re plug it all in to get it to turn on. I am wondering if any of you would shed some light as to why it is this way and if I should be alarmed. Initially in 2004 when I got the imac it had that whole logicboard issue and that was replaced by Apple, I am just hoping that this is not the case again because my warranty is over.

Always look for what's recently changed when faults show up.
So yes.
