Hi guys,

Currently, I got an annoying issue with my iMac (27-inch, 5K Retina 2017). It's working fine on all aspects, except when I want to power it on.

When I turn it off or power outage, there is no way to turn it on immediately by pressing the power button, no matter how many times I press it. You may think the power button is damaged, but no, it's work fine.

In this timeframe, I tried to press the power button many times, unplug the power cord, wait for a couple of minutes and then plug it in again. Then press the button several more times, but no luck.

Fortunately, it always turns on for about an hour, or more ( I didn't count) by itself. I have no idea how it can turn it on. The only setting I use is "power on after failure". I also thought that the power button is damaged and need to be replaced. However, when it turns on (by itself), I tried to press the button and it's working. The button only doesn't work when I want to power it on.

Anyone get this issue before? Is there any solution for me to fix it at home?
