My computer does not shut down

It is best to shut down your computer using the Shut Down command on the Windows 98 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, slide the power switch forward and hold it for four seconds.

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

Use the Sony Notebook Setup utility to disable devices you are not currently using.

The device, which is connected to the i.LINK connector on the optional i.LINK port replicator, does not work properly.

Use the i.LINK connector on your computer.

Disconnect the i.LINK device once, then reconnect it.

The key top comes off

Replace the key top to its original location, and press it until it clicks. If the enter key or the space bar key comes off, see “Replacing a key top” on page 19 for details. If you take off the key top intentionally, or press it excessively when you replace it, it may cause a malfunction. Handle the keys with care.
