ABSTRACT:
In a power on/off circuit apparatus, if a microcomputer malfunctions, an on/off operation of a power switch is executed, and thereby, the microcomputer is reset. A non-volatile memory stores an operating state of components just before the power switch is operated. Therefore, if the microcomputer malfunctions, without unplugging an AC cord, it is possible to reset the microcomputer by the power switch, and thus, to carry the components from a state just before the reset to the next operating state.
