Troubleshooting

Laptop does 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 15 minutes before attempting to power on again.

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection is unstable or not working.

Restart the laptop and your router. Check if Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is enabled in Windows settings. Update the WLAN controller drivers (Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE201) from the Lenovo support website. Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi network.

Screen display is dim or flickering.

Adjust the screen brightness settings in Windows. Ensure the display drivers are up-to-date. If the issue persists, check the display cable connection (if accessible externally) or contact support.

Performance is slow during demanding tasks.

Close unnecessary background applications. Ensure the laptop is not overheating; check and clean the vents for dust buildup. Update graphics drivers (Intel Arc 140T and NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell). Consider upgrading RAM if your workflow consistently exceeds 16GB.

Keyboard or touchpad is unresponsive.

Restart the laptop. Ensure no liquid has been spilled on the keyboard. Check for any specific keyboard or touchpad driver updates from Lenovo. Test in a different application to rule out software-specific issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Initial Power-On: Connect the 100W AC adapter to the laptop and a power outlet. Press the power button to turn on the device.
  2. Windows 11 Pro Setup: Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the initial Windows setup, including language selection (UK English/US English), network connection, and Microsoft account login.
  3. Driver & Software Updates: Once Windows is set up, ensure all drivers and software are up-to-date. Windows Update will typically handle most, but visiting the Lenovo support website for the ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 is recommended for the latest BIOS and specific utility updates.

Compatibility:

  • Operating System: Ships with Windows 11 Pro, optimized for business and professional use.
  • Peripherals: Compatible with a wide range of peripherals via USB-A, USB-C (Thunderbolt 4), and HDMI ports. Check specific device requirements for optimal performance.
  • Software: ISV-certified for popular professional applications like CAD, BIM, and design software. For other software, ensure it meets Windows 11 Pro system requirements.
  • Networking: Supports Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) for high-speed wireless connectivity and Gigabit Ethernet (100/1000 Mbit/s) for stable wired connections.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or an approved screen cleaner for the display. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the screen or keyboard. For the chassis, a dry microfiber cloth is usually sufficient.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the laptop's air vents are clear of dust and obstructions to maintain optimal thermal performance. Avoid using the laptop on soft surfaces like beds or blankets that can block airflow.
  • Battery: To preserve battery health, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. The fast charging feature can be utilized when needed, but consider limiting its use if you do not require rapid charging to extend the battery's overall lifespan.
  • Storage: For long-term storage, ensure the device is powered off and stored in a cool, dry environment (5-43°C operating, 5-43°C storage temperature recommended).
