Chapter 5. Troubleshooting
The computer does not return
from sleep mode and the com-
puter does not work.
• If the computer does not return from sleep mode, it may
have entered hibernation mode automatically because the
battery is depleted. Check the power indicator.
• If your computer is in sleep mode, connect the AC adapter
to the computer, then press any key or the power button.
• If your computer is in hibernation mode or power-off state,
connect the AC adapter to the computer, then press the
power button to resume operation.
Note:
If the system still does not return from sleep mode, your system has stopped responding, and
you cannot turn off the computer; reset the computer. Unsaved data may be lost. To reset the
computer, press and hold the
power button for 4 seconds or more. If the computer is still not
reset, remove the AC adapter and the battery.
