Power on problem - PCG-V505BP

Hi,

I am having problem to power on my laptop. I always shut it down properly and I am not using the hibernation.
Most of the time I power on, I just got the power green light coming up, can hear some disk activity and then nothing happen. I need to remove the power and the battery and try again. This can happen up to 3/4 time in a row and look very un-professional in front of customers.
I called Sony support and they claimed that it was due to "static" on the battery and to try to power on just with the power plugged. The result is the same.

Does anybody experience the same problem?

Have a collection arranged, this sounds like a motherboard issue.
