Recovering from a Locked System

Occasionally you may encounter a nonworking keyboard or a frozen screen. To restart your computer, complete the following steps:

1.Press and hold down the Power button for at least four seconds. This action will cause a manual shutdown.

2.Press the Power button once to restart.

If your computer still does not restart, complete the following steps:

1.Remove the battery and unplug the AC power for at least 30 seconds.

2.Reinsert the battery or reconnect AC power and press the Power button once to restart.

If files were open when the computer locked up, ScanDisk, a Microsoft Windows utility program, will automatically run. ScanDisk will determine if the improper shutdown caused any errors on the hard drive. Errors may occur if the Microsoft Windows operating system was not able to properly close all files before the shutdown. If no errors are found, the restart process will continue. If ScanDisk does detect errors, follow the instructions shown to continue the restart process. Work that was not saved prior to the lockup may be lost.
