3 Wait for your computer to turn off automatically.
The power indicator turns off.
4 Turn off any peripheral connected to your computer.
5 To close your computer, make sure that the tabs on both sides of the display panel click into the grips.
Respond to any prompts warning you to save documents.
If you are unable to shut down your computer:
- close all software in use,
- remove the PC Cards if inserted,
- disconnect any USB devices,
- Then press the <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete> keys at the same time; the Task Manager appears, allowing you to close open applications and to shut
down the computer. If this does not work, you can press the power switch and hold for four seconds. This will shut down the computer. This operation
