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 using battery power, ensure it is charged. Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds for a hard reset.
Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable.
Restart your router and modem. Ensure you are within range of the Wi-Fi signal. Update your Wi-Fi drivers through Device Manager. If possible, test connectivity with a wired Ethernet connection to rule out network issues. Ensure your router supports Wi-Fi 7 for maximum speed, but check compatibility with older standards if issues persist.
OLED screen displays artifacts or colors appear inaccurate.
Restart the laptop. Check for graphics driver updates. Run the Windows Display Troubleshooter. If the issue persists, especially with static images, consider running any built-in screen calibration tools or OLED maintenance cycles provided by ASUS (refer to ASUS support). Contact ASUS support if burn-in is suspected.
Performance is sluggish during multitasking.
Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for processes consuming high CPU or RAM. Ensure the laptop is not overheating; clean air vents. Update system drivers and Windows. Consider upgrading to SSD storage if you are currently on a slower drive (though this model comes with a fast SSD).
External display not detected.
Ensure the display cable is securely connected to both the laptop and the monitor. Try a different cable or port. Update graphics drivers. Make sure the external display is set to the correct input source. Test the monitor and cable with another device.
