But by the way, before you take off the battery and unplug the PSU, try to switch of the notebook by pressing the power button for more than 5 seconds (perhaps even 10sec). As on the newer PCs, the button is a "soft button" and in most cases you can switchoff the system with holding down for such a time (hardware curcuit switches off, if system hangs !).
