It appears to be acting as if there needs to be some form of charge collected before the device can be rendered operational, which is bizarre.
However, some of the "fast on" abilities that modern hardware offers has the precondition that you leave the object tethered to a power source at all times. This is due to the fact that most implementations of "fast on" (also known as instant on) use capacitors or capacitor-like components, which no doubt require time to charge up.
Perhaps the "fast on" components of your computer have become brittle enough that one must wait for charge saturation, which is quite likely.
Capacitors on computer equipment, especially if said equipment is from China or Taiwan, are weak points. I've had more than my fair share of weak caps in LCD monitors, for example, necessitating replacement with the equivalent 15cent Japanese caps.
This is due to the poor industrial espionage conducted in stealing capacitor recipes -- the morons involved neglected certain ingredients which would prevent hydrogen gas from building up and being vented. However, in your case, you no doubt have "weak capacitors", not blown ones.
