Press the power ON/OFF button and see what happens. If nothing happens still after like 5 to 10 secs. press the power button a little bit longer until all lights turn OFF. Then press it again to power ON to see if it recovers.

I am not familiar with your laptop but I think it went into hibernation mode. Also if you see a key with the same symbol just below the monitor as you have described (usually in one of the keys from F1 to F12) try pressing it again. In other laptops they have an Fn key which you should use in combination with the Fx (x = any number from 1 to 12) key.
