How to turn on a laptop
Hello, all,.
I'm new to the forum, but I use HP laptops for 7 years and there is an issue that has been dragging me since then. When I turn on my laptop, can I immediately press and release the power button or do you think I should hold the button down for about 2-3 seconds. You can call me a doubting thomas, but for some reason, I think that if I press and immediately release the button, the laptop will not be able to get enough amount of electricity and it does not start correctly. Even if it starts without a problem, this will hurt the power to the laptop.
I would be grateful if you shared what you think about it with me.
No, it will not damage your computer. Start button / stop gives just a signal that it is triggered. It accumulates no power. It is not necessary to hold the button.
You are not a parasite, you just want to know the truth
Have a nice day/evening/night.

How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?
Hello everyone
I'm selling my Portege R830-10 q If I want to restore it to the settings to factory (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.
I brought the laptop to factory settings successfully using the _TOSHIBA recovery Wizard_ and choosing * factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-box) *. However, at the end of the process of recovery and after everything is back in place I was not able to TURN off the POWER to the laptop. It only gave me the option to restart. After rephrasing it, the Windows installation process starts.
I don't want to install Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows installation for the person buying the laptop to me. How can I turn off the laptop after the recovery of the system without having to install Windows?
I would appreciate your help.
Concerning
Pedro
When the recovery process is complete and you are prompted for a reboot just press start button / stop and turn it off. I think it's only thing you can do.
Anyway, why not start Windows and go through the configuration option. New owner can modify this basic anyway parameters. As username Admin and language and the keyboard can be set as default.
For example, if you have a picture of German recovery set to German. New owner can change in any case.

Whenever I turn on my laptop, the system time is the same as when I stop it, how to fix
Hello
I have HP DV6 - 2130ca. I recently had a bug that were not work my quick commands. A support forum, I got to know that if I take my batteries for laptops and power and press the power for 30 seconds he'll fix it. Well, he got the problem solved but since then I am having a problem.
Whenever I turn on my laptop, time is the same as when I stopped him. For example, if I 'Shut Down' or 'Sleep' at 2: 00 and turn it on, to 17:00, the time would still be 14:00 on laptop. I tried Googling and found a lot of answers slightly different questions on several support forums by using the Task Scheduler to schedule a task to update time only every 5 min etc, but that did not work.
If I update manually time using time settings Internet, set time until I turned off my laptop or put it to sleep.
Please help me. Thanks in advance :)

Try the next method.
Hold the left SHIFT key you click Shutdown to temporarily prevent hybrid boot.
Let off the laptop computer for 10 seconds.
Start by typing esc button permanently as soon as you press the power button (do not wait for the prompt) and see if it will access the start menu - if that is the case, select f10 to open the Bios Menu.

How to turn off the blue lights under the speakers on Satellite P100?
Does anyone know how to turn off the blue lights that lie beneath the speakers on a Satellite P100? They are evil in my sight!
Thank you, John.
Hello
You are a lucky man. This is a very new unit and I wish that I would also have one of the new Satellite models. But you know, the money is the key :(
However, I don't think that it is possible to put out these fires.
In my opinion, it is a part of the design of laptops. It seems very futuristically. -
