How to turn off the laptop in a forced manner in case of failure of hot start
after crash?
Continuously press the ON/OFF key for 4-6s.

What may cause failure of system recovery in the sleep (or hibernate)
mode?
Definition of the sleep (or hibernate) mode:
Sleep mode: in this mode, the running state of the system and application
program can be saved in the memory (RAM), and the laptop only needs a
little power to maintain the data storage state. You can press any key to
recover the running state.
Hibernate mode: in this mode, the running state of the system and
application program can be saved in the hard disc storage area, and the
power supply of the laptop is cut off. You can press the ON/OFF key to
recover the running state.
Possible reasons for failure of system recovery:
1. Failure of the extension memory or built-in memory of the shell: if the
data are stored in a wrong area, the correct running state will not be
recovered.
2. Incompatible peripherals: some external USB storage devices and
storage cards have special disc structures and may easily result in failure of
power cutoff or recovery in the standby (or hibernate) mode.
3. Inappropriate drive or application program: the inappropriate drive
program may cause failure of the standby or hibernate mode of
the .dll, .sys and .exe files.
How to prolong the battery life?
1. Adjust the LCD brightness to the appropriate level.
2. Adjust the volume to the appropriate level.
3. Disconnect unnecessary peripherals.
4. Set the power management configuration.
