I was rather shouty above, for which I apologise, but it is hard to
remain calm when things such as the following happen.

I tried up update the trackpad firmware, hoping this would help with the
S3 sleep / touchpad problem. I had use a Window pre-boot environment to
do to that. The new trackpad firmware would not install previously
because of a bug. A BIOS update was meant to allow it to install. It
will should not install - but then I remembered I have the trackpoint
disabled in BIOS. (The firmware updater did not mention this.) I enabled
the trackpoint in the BIOS. The firmware updater seemed to flash alright
- but then re-flashed, twice, taking ages each time, giving no message,
and making me think my machine was in an infinite loop and that aborting
- if I could; the trackpad and touchpoint were not working - would cause
serious problems. Eventually the flasher gave an error message and
aborted. Possibly the problem was that the flasher needs a Synaptics
driver installed and a reboot; in the pre-boot environment I could
install that driver but after the reboot it seemed that the driver was
no longer install. What a total nightmare.
