I agree because it certainly stayed warm on the bottom and was 
drawing more power than sleep mode would justify. Finally removed all 
power sources, left it for 10 minutes, replaced battery and it 
booted. I'd really like to know what happened instead of sleep mode. 
Last year this machine wouldn't start twice and I had to use the same 
procedure. Now I believe someone tried to put it in sleep mode but it 
just 'froze' somewhere in the process. Any ideas on what might be 
going wrong or is this just a bug. Using 10.1.5, BTW. Thanks, Stephen
