If the kid puts their computer into sleep mode, how do I wake it?

 

[Leslie]

Um

Shake the mouse? If no, I'd hold down the power off button till it shuts off then turn it back on - that should do it unless it's broked.

 

[tonksy]

Yeah...the mouse did nothing. We did a restart but I know there is a way to get it outta hibernation with doing that.

 

[woodman19_99]

Hit the power button, instead of the restart button. That's how it works with mine anyway...

 

[Inkara1]

That would be my suggestion too, since I don't think that keyboard has a little "moon" button on it.

 

[highwayman]

Try tapping the space bar...

 

[tonksy]

Their keyboard does have the little moon button. That is what got pushed.

 

[unclehobart]

I pushed the moon, slapped every effing key, tapped for a hotboot, tapped the power button, had to all but immerse the entire box into icewater to get the thing to reboot.

 

[Leslie]

Hold down the power button for 10-20 seconds. That always does it.

 

[Leslie]

If I was a kid, I'd sooooooo be pushing that moon button. Maybe some masking tape over it?

 

[tonksy]

Marlowe was looking for the sun button to wake it up

 

[Winky]

put an alarm clock next to it, ya silly

I thought you deactivated the power management.

 

[unclehobart]

Are you actually implying that anything that I do to a computer for the secure and good will actually stick? I thought you knew me better than that. I'm the guy that can switch the polarity of magnets with a glance... remember?

 

[chcr]

It's prolly a key combination (such as Ctrl+Shift+F1). Should say in the Power Management applet in Control Panel. Might even have to look in the BIOS (you should get Steve to do that for you, I think )

[Proselytizing]If you had Linux you'd just have to edit a text file.[/Proselytizing]

Actually, I'd thought Steve had been over last time your keyboard went for a shit.

 

[Inkara1]

I thought those keys were missing from your keyboards specifically to prevent this.

 

[Winky]

yer doomed I tell ya doomed

The girls just had their keyboard changed due to the fact that the old one stopped working...

 

[Leslie]

How early are you getting up for work?!
