Other methods: 10. Let the battery run out - the do nothing option. 9. Remove Hard drive - proved effective. 8. Drop laptop until it goes off. 7. Symbolic forgiveness of sins by baptism. 6. Dry it in the microwave. 5. Short battery. - also proved to provide fireworks. 4. Apply 120 VAC to power plug - without transformer. 3. Van de Graff generator. 2. Upgrade to XP - it will shut down every few hours but won't be much use when it's on. 1. Push the off button really hard with a hammer.
