For an Intel Mac ****table:
- remove AC adapter (and other cables)
- remove battery
- with _no_ power source attached, hold the power button for 5 seconds
- restore battery & AC adapter
This is the cure for many power & sleep issues. It may also resolve
"missing" hardware problems (e.g. the system doesn't think it has an
Air****t card or firewire ****t).
