Anybody knows what the Crescent Key on the upper left side of the keyboard does? Can't find it anywhere. Thanks for your help.
The crescent key is called a sleep key. The Sleep key is used to put the computer into ACPI state G1 Sleeping from ACPI state G0 Working. The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification is an open industry standard first released in December 1996 developed by HP, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix and Toshiba that defines common interfaces for hardware recognition, motherboard and device configuration and power management. According to its specification[1], "ACPI is the key element in Operating System-directed configuration and Power Management (OSPM)". try wikipedia.org to find out about g1 nd g0 hope this helped
That's the Sleep button, and you may not have it configured to do anything. If you'd like to change that, go into Start\Settings\Control Panel\Power Options and click on the Advanced Tab. From there you can select several options for the Sleep button.
