How Do I Get My Laptop To Wake Up When It Has Been On But The Top Was Closed?
How do I get my laptop to wake up when it has been on but the top was closed? When I physically open the laptop, I get a black screen and the display button on the upper right side shows a cross through it. I end up having to do a hard shutdown and restart.

Troubleshooting tips: In the short term, here are some ways to try to regain control of the PC:
- Be patient. Some PCs take up to 30 seconds to wake up.
- Look for a Suspend or Hibernate key. Some laptops have special keys or buttons for one or both, but the user might not have noticed them if he normally uses some other wake-up method.
- Try pressing and holding the PC’s power button for five seconds or more. On a PC that's configured to Suspend or Hibernate with a press of the power button, holding down the power button will usually reset and reboot it.
- Most laptops have an [Fn] key you can press in conjunction with other keys to control laptop-specific features, including power management.
- As a last resort, remove all batteries, wait a few minutes, and then replace the batteries.
