<pre wrap="">I occasionally have a problem with my Dell XPS M1530 that is somewhat
similar. I will place the laptop into power saving mode, then I open
the lid and press the power button to wake it up, and the lights
flicker for a second and shut back off. To "reset" it, I press and
hold the power button for 5ish seconds, then press it again. I don't
know at what point your wake-up process is failing, but maybe this
might apply?

<pre wrap=""><!---->I have tried this - the hard reboot. It doesn't boot - it just goes
back to the eee box splash sreeen. It does flash something about the
'asus gateway', but I don't get a motherboard splash where I might enter
the bios settings or anything. It just says 'eee Box'. It is taunting
me (Taunty Jackalope).
