Shutting Down the System
To power off the notebook, from the Start menu, select Shut Down and then click
Yes. The notebook turns off automatically.
If the notebook becomes hot during the operation, the cooling fan will
continue to turn around until the temperature is low enough after you
shut down the system.
If You Cannot Shut Down
Software Reset
You can reset the software when you encounter software problems which lock up the
notebook. To reset the system or “reboot,” press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys
simultaneously. Then, follow the instructions on the screen: press the
Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys again. The notebook restarts. This is known as a “warm
boot.”
Resetting may cause the data loss. Use the software reset only if the
normal Windows 95 Shut Down does not work because of software
malfunction. Although resetting will not damage the system, you may lose
the data you are processing.
Power Switch
You can turn off the notebook with the power switch when you encounter hardware
or software problems which lock up the system. Press the power switch on the left
side of the notebook for five seconds. The notebook shuts down.
Hardware Reset
You can use the hardware reset switch only if the power switch does not turn off the
notebook. The switch is in the small hole at the bottom of the notebook. Press this
switch with the tip of a pencil or ballpoint pen. The notebook shuts down.
Before turning it back on, wait at least 10 seconds after turning off the
notebook. Turning the power off and on in rapid succession can damage
the notebook’s electrical circuitry.
