I put my laptop to sleep and I closed it I then just to check I opened it and well my computer indicator lights turned on, fan started going but screen was blank.
From google I get the idea that you should unplug power and take out battery and hold power button.
Is this correct?
Also no matter what I couldn't get my laptop to shut down by power button so I just let it drain the battery.
So now what?
Hello SR mate how old is the battery as I have just fixed an (admittedly) old Toshiba that would not power off if the battery was left in and although the battery kept it going but only for a short time it turned out to be the battery was cactus, and was somehow keeping the thing turned on with the power cord in.
So does this happen with the battery out? try taking it out and see what happens.
The Google is right it should drain the power completely after you power off with the Start > off button.
However it does seem to be similar situation to the fix I did.
