Have NEC Ready 9840 233MHz. Put in sleep mode 3 days ago and have spent 3 days trying to escape the switch. When I switch on the keyboard and the cdrom blink and a led on the front cover continues to blink. Fan runs. I have stripped it to only essentials and tried replacing the battery. She is still asleep and winking at me. Any advice will be welcome.
