I had a similar fallout with a desktop computer I use. I selected
suspend from the menu, it suspended, but could not be woken up without
pulling the plug. The three second hold on the momentary power button
did not totally clear things, so out went the power cord.
You might need to remove AC power and also remove the battery for a few
seconds, reinstall the battery and AC adapter and trying to power on the
system afterwards.
Avoid using suspend for awhile. (I know, it is right in plain site on
the menu, it should work almost universally.)
