My notebook stops responding or does not shut down.
It is best to shut down your notebook using the Turn Off Computer / Shut Down
command on the Windows Start menu. Using other methods, including those
listed here, may result in loss of unsaved data.
❑ Try restarting the notebook. (Windows XP) On the Windows taskbar, click
Start, select Turn Off Computer, and then click Turn Off. (Windows 2000)
On the Windows taskbar, click Start, select Shut Down, select Shut Down
again, and click OK.

notebook by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously and clicking
Turn Off / Shut Down on the Windows Security screen.
❑ If the previous step does not work, press and hold the power button for at
least four seconds. This turns off the power.
❑ If your notebook stops responding while playing a CD or DVD, stop the
CD/DVD, and restart the notebook by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete
simultaneously and clicking Turn Off / Shut Down on the Windows Security
screen.
❑ Unplug the notebook from the AC adapter and remove the battery pack from
your notebook.
