My computer won't turn off!
I have an emachines laptop. It is in great condition, however, I opened it this morning to use it, and it has a black screen yet the green power button remains on. I try to shut it down by holding this button but it will not react to anything. No screen light, no sounds, just the sound of it running! I don't know what to do and I have so many school assignments due tomorrow and my laptop is going nuts! Help!?

If you have tried holding the power button down for a full 4 seconds and it doesn't turn off, there are only two ways to get it to turn off:
1) Pull the power cord and wait for the battery to run down.
2) Unplug the laptop, then remove the battery.
Wait a couple minutes, then re-install the battery.
The laptop may have overheated and locked up. It may come back to life just fine when you replace the battery and power it back up... and it may not.
If it doesn't come back to life, there isn't much you can do without taking it to a repair place.
If you have to use this as a reason for a let assignment, be CERTAIN to bring your laptop and demonstrate it for your teacher.
Good luck, and I hope it was just freaked out and works fine once you cycle the power.
