sleep button to restart.
2. Slide and hold the power button for 4 seconds, until the display shuts down, then press the blue

–or, if this fails–
Insert a straightened paper clip into the system-off switch on the right side of the computer, then
press the blue sleep button to restart.

To boot from a CD-ROM or DVD drive in the module bay, insert a bootable CD (such as the
Recovery CD ) into the drive, then reboot. Press ESC twice during reboot when the HP logo and
