I had a 760E at one point that didn't turn on but when it wanted to, usually about every other time I tried the switch. Maybe you could try holding the power switch in for a second or two when powering up the computer.

Hmmm clever, I;ll try that right now.

Have you installed a fresh CMOS battery?

First thing to do with these older systems.
