    Hello,

    I put my laptop in stealth mode, and Now i am unable to bring it back out of its "sleep". My only option at this point seems to be cold booting... any suggestions?

    Remove battery, unplug, hold power for 20 seconds.

    Is this the All Powerful M15x or the Area-51 m15x?

    just a regular M15x... i just got it about a week ago. so it's the new one on their website... i had to hard boot it, and i didn't think to take out the power or battery when i did it... it appears that nothing is wrong.... i just dunno what happened...Why would it get stuck in stealth mode?

    With all those small glitches that might present themselves it's always best to drain the battery like CokeCanNinja said. Turn off, unplug the power cable, remove the battery, hold the power button for 20 seconds, put everything back and reboot. This resets the system and gets rid of all small problems.
