Hibernation mode

[Elma225]

I accidentally put my computer in hibernation mode and now it won’t turn back on. How do I get it to turn back on?

Your computer not turning back on could be due to a minor system error or the power button not responding properly. Here are two possible solutions:

1. Force Restart
   • Hold the power button down for about 15-20 seconds and then release it. This should force your computer to shut down.
   • Wait a few seconds and then press the power button again to turn your computer back on.
2. Unplug and Plug Back the Power Source
   • If you're using a laptop, unplug the power cord and remove the battery (if it's removable).
   • Hold the power button for about 15 seconds. This will drain any residual power in the system.
   • Reinsert the battery (if you removed it), plug the power cord back in, and press the power button to see if your computer turns on.
