I have found that removing the power cord and battery are almost never required. (even though it looks so) Depending on the model you can do the following: Hold the FN-key while using the power button. This does not work with wake/sleep or whatever its called button. Also, some laptops will poweroff if the power button is held for 4-5 seconds solid. (DESKTOPS TOO) I have worked with hundreds of laptops and have only actually needed to pull battery for 1. I offer this to everyone since pulling the power can be a violent act for the laptop or desktop resulting in further problems like blasting the config or worse.
