The obvious things, of course, would be if there's something flaky in the
power supply or the momentary push (on/off) switch itself, but barring
that...
I can also envision a possibility where if the AC line voltage dropped or
cut out entirely for a moment, making the power supply think someone had
just turned off and back on a power strip or battery backup unit that it
was connected to or something. Maybe in those circumstances the power
supply will turn itself on without having to press the on/off switch...
I dunno. APM still seems like a fairly tricky thing to me. I just don't
trust it.
