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 issue persists, press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds for a hard reset.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable.

Verify you are connected to a Wi-Fi 6E compatible network. Restart your router and the laptop. Ensure your Wi-Fi drivers are up to date via Dell SupportAssist or the Dell website. Try moving closer to the Wi-Fi router.

Screen is dim or not displaying correctly.

Adjust the screen brightness using the function keys (Fn + F keys). Check display settings in Windows. If the issue persists, try updating graphics drivers. Ensure the ComfortView Plus feature is not causing unexpected dimming.

Performance is sluggish with multiple applications open.

Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs. Check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for resource-hungry processes. Consider upgrading the RAM to 16 GB or more if you frequently multitask heavily.

Fingerprint reader not responding.

Ensure the fingerprint reader area is clean and dry. Re-register your fingerprint in Windows Hello settings. Restart the laptop. Check if the fingerprint reader driver is installed and up to date.
