Troubleshooting

Laptop will not power on

Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. If the battery is depleted, allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable

Restart your router and modem. Ensure you are within range of the Wi-Fi signal. Check if the Wi-Fi 6E driver is up to date via HP Support Assistant. Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network to isolate the issue.

Screen display is dim or flickering

Adjust the screen brightness settings in Windows. Ensure the display drivers are up to date. If flickering persists, check the display cable connection (internal) or try connecting to an external monitor to see if the issue is with the display panel itself.

Poor audio quality during calls

Check that the correct audio devices (microphone and speakers) are selected in your communication application and Windows sound settings. Ensure the microphones are not obstructed. Update audio drivers via HP Support Assistant.

Applications are running slowly

Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs. Check Task Manager for resource-intensive processes. Ensure the operating system and all applications are up to date. Consider upgrading RAM if you consistently experience performance issues with multiple demanding applications.
