stuck in hibernation

[Guest]

my gateway solo 1450 laptop is stuck in hibernate. i have disconnected the
battery, electricity, hit the reset button on the bottom, took out the
hard-drive, held the start button for apprx 1 min, just let it sit for 24hrs,
the battery led on front shows orange-charging, but the power led is
off-which is showing off or hibernate mode. Only thing that changes is when i
hit the reset button the battery led goes off and comes back on. the only
thing i did before it stuck was i installed the power management software
from gateway cd to better manage my power setups. i also let it sit on
battery power till it drained to 3 %. i do that twice a y

Hardware failure, you need a technician.

When the PC is switched on can you get into safe mode? If you can then you
should be able to turn hibernation of from the control panel. Failing that
you need to delete the hibernate.sys file from your hard disk. To do this
you will need software for navigating your hard drive from outside windows.
