I opened my PPpro and removed/reattached the ribbon cables easily accessed after removing the extrenal screws, this has fixed the bootup issue and I am sure the sleep --> coma problem too.
(edit)
And now after 30 min we are back to needing to smakc the Pinephonepro to boot after doing a pwr/wake button hold to hard shutdown; the coma after suspend is still a problem, it is probably the ribbon cable but what to do now other than try what I did again.
