My computer does not shut down
It is best to shut down your computer using the Shut Down command on the 
Windows Start menu. Using other methods, including those listed here, may 
result in loss of unsaved data. If the Shut Down command does not work 
properly, follow these steps:
Restart the computer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete. If this does not work, 
press the power button and hold it for at least four seconds to turn off the 
power.
Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and remove the battery pack 
from your computer.
My PC card is not working
Make sure the PC card is compatible with Windows®.
The sound of my computer’s fan is too loud
Use the PowerPanel utility to change the Thermal Control Strategy setting to 
Quiet. This setting slows down the CPU fan speed. See the PowerPanel Help 
for more information.
I cannot print
Your connected printer may not function after the computer resumes from 
a power-saving mode. When this occurs, follow the procedures below to 
reset the printer connection:
1.
Right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop, and then select 
Properties.
2.
Click the Device Manager tab.
3.
Select Refresh, and then click OK. The printer should now function properly.
Power Management
The operating system may become unstable if a lower power state such as 
hibernation is initiated and then changed before the operating system 
completely enters the lower power state. To restore the computer to its normal 
operating stability, close all open applications, press the power button, and 
hold it for four seconds or more to completely shut down the computer.
