Sometimes when got shutdown my laptop the power button is still active

go into power settings and change what happens when power button pushed from go to sleep to shut down

Hmm? Did you try holding down the on/off button until the options screen appears. Sometimes it refuses to shutdown unless you activate that shutdown prompt and then use it.

It seems that your computer needs to have a reinstall of your original setup, because the driver that tells it to shut down is not cooperating. Hopefully you have your original dvd/cd.

There's a big confusion here...

What do you mean by manual shutdown??

Some of the replies refer to Pressing the power button and wait for the computer to shutdown... while some refers to Holding your power button until the power is off... which are two different things.

Referring to Manual Shutdown #1 (Pressing the button): It doesn't hurt your computer since it is just the same with going to 'Start>Turn Off'... its just a shortcut button!*

Referring to Manual Shutdown #1 (Press and holding the button): This will sometimes result in data corruption, why? Because during the normal shutdown process, Hardrive Read/Write heads are being parked on the SafeZone. Doing this will just leave the head on top of the plate destroying some precious data

hi, yes the laptop will shutdown if you press power button.
it send command to OS that it required to shutdown in emergency so it shutdown in force. so do not shutdown by pressing the power button. use start> shutdown option.
i hope this will resolve the issue.

Restart the computer and hold down the f11 key till you hear a bell.

This will activate the system restore program.

Select restore to factory settings/ default.

That should help you out.

Cheers.

well i think its a virus, check your antivirus if its still active but nevertheless my friend u will have to restore your system back to factory settings because some patch files are already missing. so back up your important documents and then restore back to factory mode.


good luck

the half moon indicate an sleep mode when you open your laptop the sleep mode is already activated thats why it goes to shutdown reason is your sleep mode key is grounded try to consult it to your your dealer

Try this, just to see if the shutdown actually works.

Open a command prompt and enter the following:

shutdown -s -t 05

-s is to shutdown, -t 05 is a 5 second countdown.  Let me know if it actually shuts down.

incorrect shutdown with low battery will always cause problems....
first of all youre gonna have to put some charge into the battery...
then..press the power button to startup and wait for activity...lights , sounds etc..then press and hold power button until you hear pc shutdown.then restart...you may have to choose startup in option screen like start with last good config etc but now it will be back on.
