One possible fix for a totally dead laptop
Authored by: ghay on Feb 13, '06 12:02:32PM

You likely had **ked up your power management unit (pmu) and your course of action reset it.

You could also have tried Shift-Control-Option-Power button which is the quicker way of resetting the pmu.

That is actually a really good point as PMU is something not so many folks are familiar with.
FYI, when having to reset PMU on a Desktop there is a small button inside the case on the motherboard that resets it physically (Apple had me doing this during a support call once).
