You could open the box and cut the 2 wires leading from the power on button and connect then together so the motherboard always thinks the power on button is depressed. (do this at your own risk) Rather than cut and splice wires, just try a jumper on the header pins. Or hold the button down

Peter, Look in the bios in the power management section, for something like after loss of power, there set the action to power on, as opposed to stay off, or anything else. You can test this just power on the unit and pull the plug during the bios post. If it comes back on when you plug it
