My friend has a 10 year old Fujitsu I gave her and sometimes she has to hold the power button for 4 or 5 seconds before it lights up instead of just pushing it for a second or two. So far it still powers up fine.

In this case it still could be a bad or intermittently bad PS. That happened with an Acer I had some years ago. I keep remembering what a good computer tech told me one time. There's no such thing as a good laptop. They're all POS's and if you use one a lot, travel with it and all that stuff a few years is all you get. If it just sits in one place and it's used like a desktop that's one thing but throwing it around all day, using it at school for everything for hours on end, not good. And they're rarely worth fixing. Most companies who issue them to employees are on a 2 or 3 year replacement program which is where all the Ebay resellers get their stock from.
