Power Button Action
The notebook PC’s power button can be set to turn off the system or activate the
suspend mode.
Go to [Start > Control Panel] and click on the battery options under the mobile section
and click on “Choose what the power buttons do” on the side bar. In the pull-down
menu, select how you wish the power button to work as.
Note: The actual dialogue box may appear slightly different than the one shown above.
Warning: In the “When I close the lid of my portable computer” pull-down menu, DO
NOT select “Do nothing” – otherwise the system will still run at high speed while the
processor’s fan grill is fully blocked by the closed LCD panel. The heat will damage the
LCD panel.
