My boyfriend has a WinBook, V Series, purchased in 2004, running Windows XP, model number green733E.

He closed the lid to put the comptuer in 'hibernate' mode and now he CAN'T GET IT OUT of hibernate mode. :( No matter what button he pushes (ctrl+alt+delete... holding down the power button... moving the mouse around) it will not resume normal operating mode.

Trying to provide extra information... he has updated Norton anti-virus... the amount of memory is "a lot" (okay, not helpful)... no new programs installed that I know of.

A few other clarifying statements...

- The Winbook is fully charged. It has been plugged in all night.
- The only thing you can see on the screen is a black screen with a white blinky cursor up in the corner.
- I caught my (average-sized) cat sitting on it (while it was closed)... is it possible that this could affect anything??

Stuck in hibernation!! Any help you can give will be greatly apprciated! Thanks! :)
