I think Ive accidently put my laptop in sleep mode how do I get out of it? In the manual it doesnt say?

A simple re-boot usually does the trick.

However...to disable sleep mode

if you operating system is windows xp

start>run>cmd

then type: 'shutdown -a' and press enter..

if your operating system is windows vista

start>cmd

then type: 'shutdown /a' and press enter

Im not PC savvy but have you tried alt+crtl + delete?

Also, have you tried pressing the on/off button for a couple of seconds to turn the comp off and tried turning it back on?

Try holding down the on/off power button for a few seconds until light goes out.
if it doesn't work -
Unplug the mains lead, then take out battery, then put battery back in etc should do the trick.
