Running Vista. The other day I put my laptop into hibernate and now will not come out. Tried shutting down, which it does but when I turn it back on goes directly into sleep mode. Read other forums tried pushing F10 & F8 but to no avail. Logo screen never comes up. I have been having problems already with the laptop going into hibernate while using my webcam or watching a video. Normally it would always turn on again after a bit. Now it is stuck. Please help!

What model Pavilion?

Perform the following steps:
-Remove the battery and Power adapter
-Press and hold the power button for 30-45 seconds (with battery and power still removed)
-Insert just the battery and attempt to boot the laptop.
-Insert just the power adapter and attempt to boot the laptop.

I did get it back on! Thx! But now I need to figure out what is wrong with it. It shuts down or goes into hibernate often when I am watching a video or using my web cam. It is a Pavilion dv5.
