That sounds line a dried out start up capacitor in the PSU,
particulalry as
it had been running 24/7 for years. Failure to restart after a power down
is
the most common way for a Switch Mode Power supply to fail. I have DVD
player that did exactly the same, was workign upstairs, took it downstairs
and it failed to fire up again :(
One day I will look at it !!!!
