There is no reason to change a power button to a reset button after 
accessing the acpi device "SSMS", the "SSMS" is for the mute led instead 
of the power management.

I think it is better you login to the lenovo website and look for the 
latest BIOS image, then upgrade the BIOS on your machine to see if it 
can solve the problem or not.
