1. A method, implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
permitting distribution of power received from an external power source to one or more subsystems of the computing device;
receiving, via user input at a display of the computing device, input requesting a power control operation, the input comprising a defined duration for powering off the one or more subsystems;
responsive to the input, determining a point of power interruption between two or more downstream subsystems associated with the computing device;
interrupting the distribution of the power to at least one of the subsystems in a failed operational state and two or more subsystems downstream from the point of power interruption; and
restoring the distribution of the power of the subsystem to correct the failed operational state of the subsystem and the two or more subsystems downstream from the point of power interruption until power is restored.
