Your convertible tablet PC will not turn off, even after sliding and
holding the power switch for five seconds
If your convertible tablet PC has “frozen,” and sliding and holding the power
switch for five seconds does not turn it off, insert a straightened paper clip into
the reset hole on the bottom of your convertible tablet PC. For the location of
the reset hole, see “Bottom” on page 7.

■ Peripheral devices and programs that make heavy use of the hard drive
drain the battery more quickly. Use AC power whenever possible, and
readjust the
Power Properties to Max Battery when AC power is unavailable.
