Hi the iMac have problem to turn on when the power cable unplugged from wall socket.I managed to turn on after half hour connecting ,disconnecting etc. but turn on and while is turn on works perfect ,restart,turn off ,turn on no problem at all ,I tested like that for more than week and its all perfect but when get power cut off from socket have problem to turn on again .Sometimes take for hours to turn on ,is it power board ,logic board or just maybe battery on board ???
thx
Later found when I take out wifi card iMac started when I put back when power button is pressed and first led turned off,try with another card its same

I asked if the LEDs all turn off.
Checked for shorts on PP3V3_S3_MINI and PP1V5_S0_MINI with the card inserted?
