My //e fails to turn on!

[Alberto Roffe <roffe@delphi.com>]

I am having some problems with my Apple //e! It fails to turn on! I have
to turn its power switch on and off several times and sometimes wait a long
time till it finally powers up!
 
What could be the problem? The power supply? Would replacing it solve the
problem?
Someone suggested me that the power switch might be wearing off so I decided
to leave the computer turned on and just turn off the regulator where I
connect the computer and all its peripherals but the problem persists! So
that can't be the problem, or can it?
 
I also checked the computer's power cord at both ends, connecting and
disconnecting it several times without success, and I checked inside the
computer; the power supply seems properly connected to the motherboard.
Thanks for any advice.
