Dell 3656 running LM 20.1 just stopped waking up from Standby. It did it periodically before, but a restart used to fix it. Now, it just won't wake up at all.
It's running, but unresponsive.
Any ideas?

start with pulling the Power Cord out,
and then hold the power button IN for 5s at least.
then try to power it up again,
if that doesn't work, then repeat again,
but also take the side cover off & remove that round button battery, as well.
then repeat again .. wait for 10min .. then repeat again, with button battery still left out.
then try to power up, with the button battery still left out.
if that still doesn't work, then remove most of the hardware, including any HDDs,
but Not the video card, and try yet again.
post back here, how you went, with that process.

I got to the point where I pulled the battery. It sparked up after that.
Thank you very much for the advice.
