Q:Because of a software problem, I was unable to shut down power normally. I pressed the power button to force a power off, but it didn't work. How can I force a power off?

A:Make sure you press the power button for at least 4 seconds. Normally, this will force a power off. If this does not work, you can shut down the computer by inserting a needle into the reset button pinhole. (The reset button locate on the computer bottom side.)

Q:Why can’t I charge the battery of my portable computer after it was out of use for some time?

A:After portable computers have not been used for a long time (more than one month), the batteries will go into the low voltage protection mode due to data back-ups and natural electrical discharge. At that point, restoring normal voltage will require slow charging over a period of several hours. Calibration can be performed after the battery has returned to a normal condition.
