Power button doesn't put the laptop to sleep or turns it off - in fact, it does nothing, redgardless if the laptop is connected to power or not. I have a ThinkPad T410s, and these are my power settings:

    Is this a new laptop? Has it ever worked properly? Have you tried changing the behavior of the power button? Does the sleep button perform correctly?

    Did you try keeping the button pressed for a minute or so? It should bypass operating system and immediately shut down the computer. If that doesn't work, it could be a hardware problem.

  • New laptop, I tweaked the power settings a bit before checking this. I don't want to shutdown it completely, but I imagine it would work. What I'd like is the "clean shutdown" or sleep functionality. Going to try to shutdown now...

Heh, when I pressed it for about half a second this did the trick (sleep, just like I configured it). I'm simply used to even shorter clicks activating the sleep/shutdown, and in this model it takes a bit longer.
