Okay, that's good to know.

Haven't the foggiest; I inherited this machine with a broken Windows
installation and totally wiped it. I use it as an occasional portable
system and x86 hacking platform. I actually found myself puzzled by
this when it happened, and started pressing everything (and closing
and re-opening the lid) until the power button got a reaction out of
it.

I tried smb's suggestion of Fn, which I may not have tried before,
but it didn't react to that, either. Notably, to power up from suspend
mode, I just had to tap the power button; to get any reaction while in
sleep mode, I had to hold it for a couple of seconds.
