I agree with John about being careful to unplug all cables, including NADSBox.
Even an attached printer cable can provide enough power to fool a cold reboot
and the memory power switch. That one had me confused many times, but I
learned (albeit slowly).

Yes, I believe a cold start is crtl+ break + reset, then cycle the on-off
switch (side switch). That is exactly what I did.
Second I, turned the memory switch (under the laptop) off for 9 or so hours.
After 9 hours turned it back on and same result.
Just to clarify when you are trying to drain the power you need the memory
power switch off, no batteries in compartment and no cables whatsoever
connected.
It really doesn't take much to keep the memory partially intact.
