    I have a compaq laptop that is doing this very same thing. Any idea on what part of the computer may be dying that is causing this? Every now and then it will boot up and work until you try and put it in sleep mode. Then it sleeps and it won't turn back on. The power button flashes every now and then to let you know it's in sleep mode but the only way to get it to get out of sleep is to unplug it and remove the battery.
    Any ideas??
