  I had a similar problem with one laptop. I would listen to music on it
while travelling (on train or bus). Closing the lid would blank the
video and put the machine in a low power state while still playing the
music.
  But when I opened the lid and pressed a key or touched the track pad,
it didn't respond. I even tried the power button, but no dice!
  I found that I could switch to a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1), then
switch back (Alt-F7), and the video would magically come back on. But
it was annoying having to do that. My solution: new laptop.
