You can always switch it off. This is the simplest way I can tell:

C#

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("shutdown", "/s");

Sorry, but if you think that some program can work on laptop when it is not even powered, to switch it on, you need some vacation, to recover.

In most laptops, the Fn key does not pass through the OS, so you probably won't be able to (it's entirely a hardware feature). If you don't have any additional software running to let you use Fn key shortcuts, then your laptop is likely one of those. And, as SA said, you can't make a program turn the computer on (you can use a program to wake from sleep and hibernate, but not from being powered off).
