Hi Serban S,

Thanks for the input, the odd thing is if I run Linux Mint Live everything works normally, it's only if I run Linux Lite do I get this problem, I removed the HDD with LL on it and plugged in an external HDD with a Live copy of LM 19.3 Tricia on it, and it worked fine. when I removed that and refitted the HDD with LL on it  the first plug in was ok, but after booting into it and then shutting down all subsequent plug ins resulted in auto boot.
One thing has occurred to me, when I installed LL I had to do it from a CD ROM, the laptop wouldn't see the USB I had created, (oddly enough neither did my main PC either!), I don't know if that makes any difference?

Hi! :)

Putting all pieces together, here is what comes out:

1. Hardware power on button is gone. I had this kind of headache some years ago and it took me days to figure it out... Test another one from a different unit to see how it works.
2. Source is gone. Unfortunately, dedicated testing hardware, is too expensive so if you have some connection in a service, test the power source. Many faulty sources have weird behaviour. If you have a spear one, at leat test with this one and then decide; if this is the case, then change it. A SH might fit in. I use lots of SH equipment, so usually it works and it's way cheaper.

Hope this helps! :)

Get back if still things get sideways. Who knows, maybe I'll be back with a new idea...
Anyway, this is what I encountered several times so, chances it will work, are high enough.
If still things go sideways, than the MB might have some surge among the layers of the PCB (usually there are 5 layers...) and this is out of reach for any kind of service.

Best regards and good luck! :)

Hi again The Dead,

That's interesting, I'll look into that, I thought that maybe it might have been related to the CMOS battery, accordingly I changed that today, no fix unfortunately, but the machine now performs quicker so something has been gained.

Don't dis yourself matey, if ever there was a noob I'm it! I also a very large Luddite and that doesn't help much!

On Windows 10, this type of problem is solved when deactivating Hibernation... I'm too much of a Linux noob to know how to do this in Linux though... :-(
