Thanks, I didn't know about that. On one occasion though I held the power button down quite long ( ~ 15 sec? ) and it didn't shut off. Perhaps it's not supported by my laptop, or it was just that locked up. Maybe I can try it again sometime when the battery is low.

Pulling a laptop battery is usually faster than waiting for it to slowly drain.

Yes, I considered that but was leery to do it on a "running" system, partly since I'd never pulled the battery before, and I was a bit nervous etc. Once the chill mat brought the temp down I decided to wait it out.

Thanks, these things happen, and we may learn from them.
