EASY... buy a new button or do a jump start everytime you want to start it .

beware of aspire as i had the same problem but with a 400w one and it turned out that the two capacitors were blown out. look at the power supply and c if there are any traces of the capacitor material spread all over the place.

He'll be lucky to get a RMA since he opened it up a "little bit". Worth a shot though. GL.
