Comment # 4 on bug 1198461 from Michael Meeks

With latest kernel, I unplugged the external monitor, and peripherals,
un-plugged networking, let it settle (for a handful of seconds), un-plugged
power, let it settle, did a suspend (in xfce). Trying to resume it an hour
later - on mains power: nothing, dead as a brick - couldn't minute using the
laptop - holding down power at length, and/or patiently pressing it afterwards
in various obvious patterns - wouldn't hard reset it, no fan noise, no screen
response or backlight, no keyboard interaction - nothing - dead like dodo.

Spent some time later that evening trying to resurrect it; nothing.

This is what I have from the kernel log:

To do a hard reset it's necessary to unscrew ~10 screws on the back of the
hardware - which makes life particularly unhappy.

Very nice CPU, but software/BIOS/something-wise this device seems to be a
nightmare. Advice that avoids switching to Windows and running under vmware
appreciated =)
