I have an Epson C84 that had the same problem. I won't say that I
fixed it but I did get it working. What I did was remove the case and
check it at every sub assembly that is every time I took off a part I
tried to get it to power up. Eventually with most of the plastic case
removed it came on. I then replaced parts until it failed again. It
seems to me that at that point I could slightly warp the case by hand
to make it work. I then put a sliver of plastic to hold the warp and
reassembeled. It now has been working for six months. Not very
scientific but effective.
