Answer 1

It should come back on simply by pressing the power button (you may need to hold it in for a sec or 2). If that doesn't work, try removing the battery and unplugging your laptop, wait a minute and stick the battery back in and try again - i've had mine do this before, it just didn't wanna come back from hibernation so i took all the power away from it and then just plugged it back in- it seems to reset the comupter to it's normal state.

Hope that helps
