It's almost as if the battery gets disconnected sometimes:

the led isn't blinking any more!

Then, the same thing started happening with linux...

It gets to a point where I can't get the machine to boot again without

putting

the power plug back in.

I was suspicious of a faulty battery bay, so I (temporarily) moved the

battery

over to the other bay last night -- we'll see how that works.

I have a similar problem with my wallstreet. It seems to survive quite
well when travelling with in bag, but when working with it on my knees, A
brutal move sometimes disconnects the battery. 

There is still a possibility of a problem with PMU communication. This
beast is quite sensitive to various timing issues, and when something
goes wrong, it shuts the machine down abruptly.
