Hi Robin, and welcome to the list.
We have two BC's, none of which have ever had that switch-on problem you
talk about. Mine is out of action at the moment, but I used to have to reset
it every few days. But this wasn't much of an issue as it switched on
straight away and it only took a few seconds to tweak the speed, pitch and
sleep timer to the way I like them.
Have you tried updating your firmware?
Cheers,

Life is like a capricious mistress: the more you woo her the more
she despises you. You have to get up and do something more interesting.
Then she'll pelt after you.
