Re: [LIB] 110CT on/off button

All new computers require to support forced power down if you press power button more than 4 seconds. Remember that's a forced power down which means nothing get saved before it goes down. Kind of helpful when machine crashes. I'm using a utility called REBOOTER that does a forced power down, it's great. I've set up two shortcuts to it, so:- Ctrl+Alt+F4 = forced power down Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F4 = forced power down and immediate re-boot So you can set up the on/off button to do something else, but still do the forced power down thing if things start to go pear-shaped. I use it all the time - it's just so much quicker and more convenient than going start, shut down, OK yes I'm sure...

I've never seen it mentioned before? Is it an indication of problems to come? Absolutely not. The L100 and presumably the 110 have markedly different behaviors of the power button than the L50 and presumably the L70. The L50 only seems to cause a hibernate no matter how long you press it, IF it is not set in BIOS to boot mode The L100, even IF it is set to hibernate, WILL power down the machine if the power button is pressed long enough ( 3 sec seems about right ). A very sensible change in my opinion. Sorry if this has been answered before... I left my machine on at work, came in to 200 emails to wade through, and am just taking them in order. Looking over the question again, I am not sure if I helped or confused, you said the L70 takes a few seconds as well so I am not sure if it is acting like the 100 you are considering and you were worried about both... Anyway, the action you are describing is normal and desirable. Thanks Pres Waterman W2PW c/o Patchogue Motors, Inc. Long Island Ford and Kia dealer Currently 2 NEW 2002 T-birds in stock $50k ea.

I've never seen it mentioned before? Is it an indication of problems to come? Chester I'd write the guy and ask him if he can ONLY shut down Windows with the power button, or if it's possible to do a Start Menu Shut Down Shut Down. Holding the power button down will shut down my L50 and L70 in 3 seconds or so, and I'd assume it'd be the same for the L100 and L110. You can set the button to put you into hibernation too as I recall. But if the system will only shut down from Windows with the power button, I'd guess it's a Windows problem, and not the Lib's problem. There's probably a DOS utility to shut down the system, but as far as I know, powering down from DOS with the power button is the standard procedure. If he says that Windows won't power the system down, you can probably reformat and re-install Windows, and it may fix the problem. Maybe ask the guy if he's tried that.
