Compaq 1275 the power on my labtop shuts off. sometimes if i move the monitor it will shut off. other times it just does it on its own. thanks for your time.

The wires to the screen are frayed and short when moved. You should fix that ASAP, or you will end up with a fried laptop.

Keep your finger pressed on the power button and it will shut down

Hello, the short answer is YES you can. I am not sure why are you trying to do this but just remember while running laptop just AC power your are running the rick where if you accidently move the laptop and power connector coming lose from laptop will cause instant power off. This can cause you lose data you might be working on. This can also cause OS corupption.
So my recommendation is to do this if absolutely nessasary and be sure thatpower cable doesn't get pulled or moved.

I hope this helps,

Kind regards,

Power down the computer and power back up. Lets just shut hibernation off...you can always just have the computer sleep...it is much better on the system anyway.

Shutting Down Hibernation

Go to the control panel > Power Options > Hibernation tab > uncheck hibernate…this way you save a lot of disc space and don’t have to go through all the intermittent hibernation problems that occur. After you uncheck hibernation, you can go to the other power options and change how the computer reacts to the lid being closed, when it sleeps and for how long before sleep kicks in. Make sure to change the setting for what happens when lid closes to “do nothing” this will keep the laptop alive even though you close the lid to move it, etc.

i think you have a problem in you power supply sir try changing it or try separating your monitors source of power.

I have a Compaq 1275 with the same problem. You can actually turn it off without removing the battery by holding the on/off button for more than 4 seconds. This actually works for any computers (it is like a reset button). Hope it helps.

First check the batery hdd and ram

then go start run msconfig and remove any programs from start up

and use win xp cd to repair it

Your CPU is heating up it will shut down on you the fan that keeps it cool must of clapped out replace it. Then you should be right..

Update the BIOS or CMOS it should be fine after that.
