Vostro 430, hard to start
My Vostro 430 has developed a problem to start. I have to push the start button 20-30 times. However after a successful start it runs fine. The computer is still in its original state with one HDD added some years ago.
What can be the problem?

I can add that I have checked the start button and its harness and did not find any problems.

CMOS Battery Might be bad. Power button is replaceable part. Paperclip on the Green wire to a black wire usually starts an EPS12v power supply.

Thanks for the information.
Change of battery did not improve the situation.
Can I fore the Power supply to start by shortening the green and black wire also when trying to start the computer or is that only a stand alone test of the Power supply?
