does it switch off without shutting down have you checked the power supply it might be burnt out. these cost about €30 if it is the power supply.

Sorry for the late reply but it's been difficult.
It's four years old.How do I check the power supply?
I can run it for hours with no probs and then shut it down correctly but it wont boot up soon after the shut down.

I then push the button for six seconds til it switches off and immediately push it again- this usually works.Maybe this is damaging. Idon't know.

Thanks for all replies.
