My laptop has Windows 10. I shut it down as normal and wanted to switch it on again yesterday. I pressed the button to turn it on and then came a blue screen saying "Preparing for sleep", the whole thing has been going on since last night, the little lamp where you can see whether the laptop is on or not is flashing continuously. I don't know how I can get it running again.
Press the power button for more than 5 seconds.
You probably closed it before it was completely shut down, just hold the power button down a little longer until it finally goes out, remove the battery and wait a little while and then turn it on again.
Helped, thanks!
If the tip already published does not work. Battery out, wait 15 minutes, back in and try again.
It helped, but thanks a lot anyway.
SUPI.
happy New Year
