I have a Dell Inspiron 16 with an Intel Core Ultra 155h and when installing Fedora 42 I got a Black Screen and I need a way to turn it off, My laptop doesn’t have a power button all I need is a way to get to the boot menu I can’t open it up or else my dad will kill me.
Any help is appreciated.
Hi Radhika,
I am Dave, I will help you with this.
Windows does not have a setting for that, but on a Dell laptop there is usually a setting in BIOS causing the laptop to power on when the lid is opened.
Start your laptop, then repeatedly press the F2 key to boot into BIOS and look for a setting to power up when the lid is opened.
That is what I understood you to mean, in BIOS that setting will be enabled, if you want to stop that behaviour, you need to turn off that setting in BIOS.
Laptop is charged and off.
There is nothing, no button, no sensor or anything in between the screen and the keyboard.
There is nothing on the left and right sides of the keyboard, only ports.
The top-right most key on the keyboard is blank. I thought this might be the power, but I've pressed it, held it for varying amounts of time, to no avail.
Since nothing so far has worked I suspect the power might be sensor/fingerprint-activated, but I don't know where I would have to touch in that case, and for how long.
I have turned the laptop on before, but I don't remember how.
I would share a photo, but I'm on my phone and can't send anything on reddit mobile browser.
