loong Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hi, I recently suffered a crash on my laptop and had no way of shutting it down. With the desktop, I could pull the plug in desperation, but this is not an option with a laptop - I could upend it and take out the battery, I suppose. ConAltDel did work in the end, but it took forever! What do others do if their LT crashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Pressing the power on button for an extended period, 30 seconds plus, works on my HP/Compaq 8220. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayo Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 as astral says, or on many laptops there is a "mains" switch, which will shut down the laptop instantaneously. It's usually hidden on the side or below. If it is a Slide switch, hold it "slid" til the LT goes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
