Disconnect the battery terminals obviously!
Or just wait a while
I miss when this was easy.
I also miss the days of fat dumper laptops
i still have a laptop sith replacable cpus/socket
put it in the microwave
what do you mean? that just recharges the battery
make it real hot
Hold the power button for 10 seconds!
Unless pressing the power button triggers hibernation.
On pretty much every computer I've seen since ATX became a thing, pressing and holding power for I think 6 seconds (but could be another specific time) has force powered off the whole thing. Hibernation should kick in on a single press if you have it configured that way and trigger on the release of the button.
It takes my laptop about 10 seconds to force power off, but usually 5 to hibernate.
