Where is the reset button on a laptop?
To help conserve space, a laptop and most portable devices only have one power button. If you need to reset a laptop or another device, press and hold down the power button and after 10-15 seconds, the device resets or turn off. When the device turns off, let go of the power button, wait a few seconds, and then press the power button again to turn the device back on.
