You should get yourself a copy of the APM standards (I typically go through hwdev.microsoft.com and rummage around) and start experimenting; the actual problem is likely to be obscure, and may involve some disassembly of your BIOS. It's also worth noting that APM in modern laptops is severely deprecated, and your BIOS may in fact be entirely broken.
