Fuel not powering-on from front-panel button

Question  Fuel not powering-on from front-panel button
I have a Fuel which I've left plugged-in, but haven't actually powered-on in an age.

I came back to it the other day, and found that pressing, holding, doing anything with the front-panel power-switch does... absolutely nothing :(

However, I previously invested in a converter board (the name of which currently escapes me) which allows me to use a standard ATX PSU with this hardware.  And it has an orange LED which is clearly lit!  It also has an override push-button which can be used to power-on the system - and if I hold this down then the fans all spin up and if I hold it down longer it sounds as if the firmware is beginning to bring the system up.  But as soon as I let go the power dies again.

   

I'm pretty rusty these days, but I'm digging around to find serial cables/converters to plug into the internal L1 connector and the rear serial port... but, in the meantime, is this a known problem?  Is there something I've missed?  Any suggestions for anything I can try?

(My understanding is that the common environment-monitoring issues Fuel systems have - which, so far, I'd not been affected by - lead to premature shutdown rather than a complete failure to start at all?)
