However, until you navigate the complexities of the Power Options, you can perform a full shutdown as follows: In either of those states, a laptop will not drain the battery, and it will not wake up on key press or mouse action. To completely shut down, adjust the Power Options so that when the lid is closed or the power button is pressed, the PC either performs a full shutdown or it hibernates. Evidently, your system is in Sleep, not full shutdown. The PC appears to be off, but is ready to restart in a second or two when the lid is opened, when a key is pressed or when the mouse is moved. Sleep or Suspend keeps the computer running at a slow speed, using a trickle of power.The computer will boot in a few seconds from Hibernation.

Hibernation saves an image of memory to disk, and then performs a full shutdown (though some laptops keep using a trickle of power to check if the lid is opened, and then restart).

Restarting requires pressing the power button. Other than clock battery, it should use no power.

Full shutdown, without Fast Boot, simply stops all processes and turns off the PC.

The sensing it done by an orientation sensor in the base of the laptop, not in the hinges! I have found that, to turn the keyboard back on and to go to laptop mode I can tilt the whole laptop towards me slightly, and voila! So far it has worked every time.There are various levels of "shut down" in Windows (and in other OS's, such as Linux). However, once my keyboard is on, the connection stays on even as I adjust the screen angle, so it seems a hinge connection failure is not the issue here.įinally, after much confusion, I found the answer: When the laptop is rotated sideways it attempts to switch to tablet mode, even when I have not adjusted the screen angle. Unfortunately the HP rep simply assumes a hardware fault in the hinges and advises the owner to send it back for repair. This post on the official HP forum describes a similar problem.

After lots of opening and closing it seemed that eventually the keyboard would come back on but there seemed to be no logic to the problem at all. No amount of opening and closing the screen will trick the keyboard into coming on, and it is necessary to log in using the touchscreen interface and on-screen keyboard. When the laptop is folded back it automatically converts to tablet mode, wherein the keyboard is automatically turned off so that the keys are not accidentally pressed while using the touchscreen interface.īut since I bought it I have found that, on booting up the device in laptop mode, with it sitting open on my desk, the keyboard is mistakenly turned off. It is a really nice piece of hardware, chiselled from solid aluminium with great battery life, decent performance and a pretty usable keyboard.

I recently bought a new notebook the HP Spectre x360, a 13” convertible ultra-slim notebook PC.
