Sometimes my power supply just stops charging. I pull it out of the
socket and plug it in again. It works again.
Once before, the sleep switch connected to the locking catch on the
lid was faulty. I tried opening and closing several times.

Sounds like the battery didn't charge for some reason. Does it start up when
you have it plugged in to the mains?
Have experience of laptops not starting up at all if battery power too low.
Quoting Mark Secker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Is the AC adaptor showing green or orange or no light (maybe you've
lost mains power)? maybe dead battery but if on AC this shouldn't
matter....
without going in depth but have you tried removing the battery and
the external power supply (OK so this will power off the machine
rather than wake it but....)
seen this with sleep when screen savers or programs have hung when
the machine goes to sleep or wakes up also using external drives that
have been disconnected or powered down and also with wireless
connections that are no longer available - also faulty/dying logic
boards cause this but
