Contrary to what has been said by everybody else, pressing Shift+On is NOT sufficient to start coma mode. You have to press Shift+On and KEEP HOLDING THEM DOWN briefly (about half a second). The smaller-than-normal "hp" logo blinks very briefly when coma mode is ready to begin, but it's such a brief blink that you'll only see it if you watch for it very carefully. If you release Shift+On too soon (before that blink) then a normal power-down occurs (not coma mode), and pressing On turns on the G2 immediately.

[disclaimer: running Beta firmware]

I have noticed that sometimes I do not see the brief flash, even though I'm looking for it, and yet the Prime does go into coma mode, as seen by the delay in turning on again, and getting the Beta firmware warning which I don't get after a regular sleep.

That lack-of-flash occurs quite often: I just tried coma mode three times, and got no flash for one of them, but all three took a few seconds to come back on and gave the beta warning.
