After installing a previous Windows update, for example, my laptop's battery stopped charging. My laptop showed it was plugged in, but then at the same time it would tell me it was also not charging. When enabled, your display will be turned off after your PC is idle for the configured period of time. The monitor screen will become black. The next time you access the device, the screen will show the desktop instantly. Also, it may be your lock screen image. Tip: see how to add Turn Off Display Context Menu in Windows 10.
Laptop turned itself off, being an inspiron it was hotter than the sun when touched it to turn it on again. Doing the obvious, when I discovered it wasnt coming back to life again, i set it to rest ontop of some cold tiles on the bathroom floor. After about a half hour I went back to check on it. I want the switch to turn the pump off automatically after X minutes (2 specifically) As a bonus, would be nice to also be able to have a second light/switch turn on/off when the outlet is on (maybe hue light one day to turn to specific color) I was thinking WeMo only because they have a recipe for auto-timer-turn-off so I know I can do it with.
If your screen is black or frozen
If your screen is black or frozen, you might need to force restart your device. A force restart won't erase the content on your device. You can force restart your device even if the screen is black or the buttons aren't responding. Follow these steps:
- iPad models that don't have a Home button: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Power button until the device restarts.
- iPhone 8 or later: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.

- iPad with Home button, iPhone 6s or earlier, and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons until you see the Apple logo.
If your device still won't turn on or start up
Plug in your device and let it charge for up to one hour.
After a few minutes, you should see the charging screen.
If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check the jack, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.
