First thing to check is the lid switch. It may be just on the verge of total failure. Open the lid and depress the switch activator with a small screwdriver or similar tool. It should respond with a well defined click. If it feels spongy, replace it.

Open up the console and look to see if there is any obvious burnt wiring or connectors. If there is a circuit boare, look for burnt or discolored components on the board.
