[stir-fry]

i'm installing some software on this laptop for someone, and it was taking too long so i took a nap..
now i'm awake and i can't seem to get this thing out of hibernation mode?

i tried closing the top and opening it, pressing keys.. pouring water on it, etc. what can i do?

it's a dell inspiron

Power button.

If that doesnt work, hold it for 5 seconds.

If that doesnt work, remove the battery.

press and hold it until something happens

always works for me

POUR WATER ON IT!

but if i press the power button and it reboots i'll fucking kill someone since it's still halfway through the install

 

[H2Whoa]

hold the FN key and press F4

there should be an icon on the F keys

It wont reboot.

Just press it once.
