What Do I Do If I Get This Job?
Jobs & Education6 mins ago
I have always used the power button on the top right of my Acer laptop to switch to sleep mode. Now when I press it, nothing happens - no option to switch off or hibernate or sleep. I googled 'how to put laptop into sleep mode' and it offered 'Windows icon, power icon' but I can't see a power icon. Am I being particularly stupid? There is a long way round it, but why, when all I've had to do in the past is just press one button for three seconds to put it to sleep or wake it up? And I can't switch it off either.
I've recently changed my wallpaper, but only to put it back to a photo I've used before, so it can't be that?

Repair shop said it was the battery and replaced it, but within a few weeks the problem started happening again. I eventually ditched the HP laptop as it was 4 years old and bought a nice new one.
