    My W520 won't shutdown. I'm running Windows 7, and selecting "Shutdown" restarts the laptop rather than powering off. :(
    Occasionally it will shutdown, but often it restarts.
    I've used the power button, and one attempt with the power button took the system into recovery mode. :err:
    Thanks for the help in advance. :)

    You are sure its not a system issue? Check bios as well. Never heard about this sort of problem... Jesus we lear all life...
