Generally I've found that my 2300c does not tend to start up when it
has been sitting a while.
Sometimes I have to play with it. Now, I did not mention this, but I
have the POWER ADAPTOR PLUGGED INTO THE MAC WHILE I DO THIS. That had not
been mentioned. Personal experience has shown that my Wallstreet power supply
will jolt the Duo awake when the Duo power supply will not.
I will usually start by hitting the keyboard power button. Nothing.
Make sure the Duo is plugged up, try holding down the connector power button
for a second. If still nothing, I remove the battery (in case it is causing a
drain at initial start up) and then hit the connector power button again.
Most of the time the computer will stir at least and the green LED will flicker
a bit.
Sometimes it will start right up, othertimes I have to push the keyboard
power button for a few seconds.
Now if all THAT doesn't work, try putting the Duo in a dock, and have
THAT power it up. And you might need to start with or without battery.

Ok - please excuse the ignorance, but what is the
proper seqence regarding the rear and power buttons?
And the purpose? (the rear button grants electricity
to the circuitry, and the front button powers the
machine to ON - is that it?)In trying to sort out my
'moment of function', I have tried it every which way,
and I've no idea if or when it makes the difference.
Thanks for your patience.
