It's there in all computers with soft-power-buttons (power buttons that inform OS that they have been pressed). If holding doesn't work, the true last resort to simply remove all power sources (battery, AC adapter). | |

| Feb 24, 2012 at 12:40 | comment | added | Hafiz | ah, I was pressing it for almost 5-6 seconds and thought that it was off, but thanks for mentioning 10 seconds as it really off exactly after 10 seconds. So HP don't give full control to OS. My mistake in thinking wrong way. | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 12:36 | comment | added | Joe Taylor | Have you held the power button down for 10 seconds? Or just pressed it? A probook 4520 will completely power down if you hold the power button in but will go to sleep / hibernate if you just press the power button | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 12:35 | comment | added | Hafiz | this don't power off it but it goes to standby/hibernate . And when I start again , it is at same place. I already tried all this. | |
