I happen to recognise that as a message from laptop-mode-tools. It's
telling you that laptop-mode is enabled (in other words available), but
not active (probably because you're on mains) and that this hasn't
been changed by the event that triggered the check.

I would try pressing Enter a few times (if a getty is on that terminal,
that should cause it to re-display the "login:" prompt). Or, failing
that, use the SAK (Either Alt+SysRq+K or Ctrl+Alt+Pause) which will kill
everything on that Console (normal behaviour should then mean that the
getty is re-started)
