My Iyo is 6 years old, on its second PSU (the first was replaced
shortly after purchase). The machine is used daily, switched off at
night and was working reliably. I've just returned from 5 weeks away,
during the whole of which period the computer was switched off (and
also at the wall socket, i.e. powered down completely). On first
attempting to start up, nothing happened - there was no response
whatsoever. I tried all the obvious steps like changing fuse, using a
different socket etc. I was surprised that the PSU could fail while
inactive, but Andrew at CJE agreed that it was the most likely culprit
and a new one is on its way. I'm not sure what the moral of the story
is; probably 'never switch off'!

my Iyonix 24/7 for 2 years. It's been stood idle for 2 years, and boots
up fine, apart from complaining about the lack of network on startup. A
good testament to these machines, since 3 out of 4 of my x86 machines
have dead CMOS batteries, and don't boot up, and the 4th needs a new
pump in it's 9 month old water cooler. Yea they have also been idle for
2 years too.
