To Reset The Computer - HP F2974KT - OmniBook 500 - PIII 700 MHz Manual

To reset the computer

Occasionally, you may find that Windows or the computer has stopped responding, and
will not let you turn the computer off. If this happens, try the following in the order listed.
1. If possible, shut down Windows: press CTRL+ALT+DEL, then click Shut Down.
2. Slide and hold the power button for 4 seconds, until the display shuts down, then
press the blue sleep button to restart.
–or, if this fails–
Insert a straightened paper clip into the system-off switch on the left side of the
computer, then press the blue sleep button to restart.
To reset an expansion base—and the computer, if docked—insert a straightened paper
clip into the reset hole on the bottom of the expansion base. You can also reset the
expansion base by undocking the computer and removing all AC and battery power from
the base.
