I have experienced the following many times with computers as well as consumer electronics.
After some disturbance on the AC feed to a power supply, the device will not turn on. However, unplugging the AC, pressing the power switch and returning AC to the device alleviates the problem.
I assume that performing these steps effectively discharges some capacitor that is remaining charged, but can someone provide an electrical engineering explanation as to what is going on here?
