I have searched all over the user guide and can't find the key combinations to press to force a hard reset on my laptop.  Could you please let me know the keys to press?  Thanks

Hi Manjunath.  Thanks for your reply.  I don't see my laptop model in that table.  Which is the equivalent one?   My Pavilion has no Beats button and I tried pressing and holding the Power button for 8-10 seconds and nothing happened.

Any help on this? Is there another way other than just letting the battery drain to 0%?

Try F11

Thannks for that.

 

Hold down F11 as you power it on. Straight to system reset.
