Just a quick reality check. I've tried all kinds of variations, but my basic procedure now is the following. Does this sound about right?

(1) Power the machine off.
(2) Disconnect the power cord (have done it at machine and at wall; does it matter?).
(3) Push the power button to get quick flash and drain.
(4) Remove the battery.

Push CUDA here for 30 sec as well.

(5) Let sit for from 30 minutes to 12 hours.
(6) Push down the CUDA for 30 seconds.
(7) Reattach power cord.
(8) Push down CUDA again (usually for 3 seconds, but sometimes for 30).
(9) Pray, plead, use "stern" language, dance around.
(10) Power the machine up.
(11) Cry; repeat/try something else.

I've had machines come back after leaving them unplugged for days at a time while I go off and do other stuff.
