I'm not sure if there are any odd circumstances about your usage but here is my procedure (although i rarely turn off)
Unplug from power
Wait 5 seconds
Quickly press-and-release power button
Select 'Switch Off' from menu
Wait at least 5 seconds before trying to turn on again
Press and hold power button until screen lights up
Wait for boot up to complete
Return to power if needed

I would be very upset if i was away from home and charger and my procedure required me to plug into ac to turn on. Do you have other procedures which do not require ac?

No, the only reliable thing that works is to have a charger handy...
I also agree with another post that it must be related to "SLEEP" or "DEEP-SLEEP". The charger puts it in a mode where it responds to the on/off switch. Without the charger it is in a different mode where it does not work.

I thought about this solution too, but aint that against the first of Law of mobile device? Where on earth you get AC while walking on the street and, whatever it is, you need to turn off/on your device? To plug it in is NOT an acceptable solution.

Not in my case my friend, the issue was always on battery power condition. No AC connection at all. Even, in the threads I've linked, in some cases other users can turn their N8XX on only when AC is connected.
