    Hi my chronos has frozen and the power button isn't working?
    Any other way to power it down? My old laptop had removal battery to disconnect but obviously can't on this one.
    Thanks

    I know this is basic, but have you tried holding the power button down to force power off? I would figure out why the laptop freezes first.

    Yeah I did that. In the end I left it over night to run out of battery. And now it won't turn on :( plugging in power cable doesn't even turn on the light

    You didn't happen to have just updated the BIOS like this person?

    Look on the bottom there is a power/battery shutoff. Its a small hole hole the dia. about the same as a paper clip.

    ^^ Didn't know they had that. I was curious why there was a paperclip size hole there and thought it was for the DVD drive.
