Will not respond to start switch for about 30 seconds. then the same thing happens, It eventually starts, but only after doing this a number of times (10-20) - How do I handle this?

Update (06/25/2021)

I have now attempted to reset my computer using the ‘fresh start’ option.

During the process the computer restarts, except that it didn’t. - it stayed off and I’ve so far been unable to start it again even with my W10 recovery data stick.

So far I have:

1. Checked everything with Dell Support Assist. - nad

2. Removed battery & coin cell and held the start button down for 1 minute ( I’ve repeated this procedure a number of times.

3 Tried to start with only battery

4. Tried to start with only mains

5 . rebooted the bios

6. Chkdsk -mad

7. Scannow - fixed a few files but otherwise nad

8. HD Sentinel - described my SSD as ‘perfect’

9 Tried Fresh Start - computer now refuses to boot.

10. Will not boot with recovery data stick.

I have not yet tried kicking it.

Is there anything more I can do?

Is there any way I can get the computer to boot?
