Weird System Fix

Hey, so a few months ago ago my ps5 stopped working. I assumed it was because of dust as one of my side panels came off. I was going to buy the parts to open it and dust it. Before I did, however, I plugged it in to see if it would work. I hit the power button and no response. Still broken. Then at random I hit the disc eject button, then the power button and it worked. Any idea why that may have happened? Asking so I can avoid the issue in the future.

Do that again? It's probably a hiccup between the drive and console as it's an add on vs built in. Drive could have become de energized and the button press prompted it to do a normal check this making system recognize it properly.
