My computer does not shut down

It is best to shut down your computer using the Shut Down command on the Windows Start menu. Using other methods, including those listed here, may result in loss of unsaved data. If the Shut Down command does not work properly, follow these steps:

Restart the computer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete. If this does not work, press the power button and hold it for at least four seconds to turn off the power.

Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and remove the battery pack from your computer.

My PC card is not working

Make sure the PC card is compatible with Windows®.

The sound of my computer’s fan is too loud

Use the PowerPanel utility to change the Thermal Control Strategy setting to Quiet. This setting slows down the CPU fan speed. See the PowerPanel Help for more information.

I cannot print

Your connected printer may not function after the computer resumes from a power-saving mode. When this occurs, follow the procedures below to reset the printer connection:

1.Right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop, and then select Properties.

2.Click the Device Manager tab.

3.Select Refresh, and then click OK. The printer should now function properly.

Power Management

The operating system may become unstable if a lower power state such as hibernation is initiated and then changed before the operating system completely enters the lower power state. To restore the computer to its normal operating stability, close all open applications, press the power button, and hold it for four seconds or more to completely shut down the computer.
