IBM Thinkpad T41, just went into sleep mode whilst in use can not get it out of sleep mode now

What steps are you taking to get this system out of sleep mode?

What happens if you press the power button?

What happens if you press, hold down for a few seconds, and then release the power button?

The only thing I can think of at this point is to boot this system with an Ubuntu live or other recovery CD, like Knoppix, mount your laptop's hard drive, and go look under your laptop's /var/log directory for information in the logs. This path will be preceeded by more information, as your true /var/log directory will be that belonging to your boot cd.

Been having the same problem, this has worked to bring it out of sleep mode: press the function button and the center blue button above the mouse pad. Don't know why that works, wish IBM would get it together.
