combination: Windows key + Backspace key + Power button.
2.
Turn the computer on to initiate "Battery Safe mode."
3.
After the computer powers off, disconnect the AC adapter.
In "Battery Safe mode," the power button will not turn the computer on if the AC adapter is not connected.
To disengage "Battery Safe mode," plug in the AC adapter and press the power button.
