[SHR-u] black screen of death on resume

[Rui Miguel Silva Seabra]

When it next happens, put it by your ear, press the power button for
up to 10 s (just to make sure).

You *will* hear a very light noise of it truly powering off.

Then you release and press again once, like a click, and it will boot.

This is an effect outside the operating system.
