Press CTRL+ALT+DEL, then click Shut Down.
2. If the computer does not shut down, slide and hold the power switch for five seconds,
then release it.

the system-off switch on the left side of the computer, underneath the PC card eject
buttons.
4. After the computer shuts down, press the blue standby button to turn the computer on
again.
