To revive a snoozing laptop, simply press a key on the keyboard or tap on the mouse pad. That wakes the sucker up, bringing it back to active duty.
- If you closed the lid to put the laptop into Stand By mode, then opening the lid usually wakes it up. See the section, “What happens when you just close the lid?” later in this chapter.
- I generally push the Ctrl key on the keyboard to wake up my sleeping laptop.
- The key you press to wake up the laptop is not passed along to whatever program is running. So if the screen says “Destroy all your data files? Y/N” and you press the Y key to wake up the laptop, nothing dastardly will happen.
- Sometimes it’s necessary to press the power button to wake up a snoozing laptop.
- If the laptop doesn’t perk up, then the battery is probably dead. Check the laptop’s power-on lights. If they’re off, then the battery is dead.
- If the laptop still won’t wake up, then you may have a problem with the system’s power management software. Try pressing (and holding) the power button until the unit either turns off or on again. Then try starting up the laptop as you normally would. Refer to your dealer or laptop manufacturer for updated power management software.
