The most common reason for this behavior are worn out / failed electrolytic capacitors on the power board.

Those are easy to identify as they are usually bulged and easy to replace. We recommend to do it yourself and if you don't want to then find someone local, bring them the board and have them do it for a coffee or $20 at most (including parts).
If the problem is more complex you can use this:

We've also seen the same caused by a problem on the main board, but that is a remote second possibility. When it is, it's probably best to just get a replacement main board.
