Try unplugging the unit from the wall power, if its plugged in, then
removing the battery for a minute or so...

I'm curious. If the screen is black (off), how do you know that power
remains on? Many if not all laptops will show a lit LED when connected
to the mains power (wall plug) to indicate that the battery is either
charging or completely charged. This doesn't mean that power is on to
the rest of the computer.
