Troubleshooting

Device 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 15 minutes before attempting to power on.

Slow performance or freezing

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Restart the device to clear temporary files and processes. Check for Windows updates and driver updates. Ensure there is sufficient free storage space on the SSD.

Wi-Fi connection issues

Toggle Wi-Fi off and on. Restart the router and modem. Update the wireless network adapter drivers. Forget the network and reconnect, re-entering the password.

Screen display issues (dim, flickering)

Adjust screen brightness settings. Ensure the display drivers are up to date. If flickering persists, try connecting an external monitor to determine if the issue is with the laptop's display or graphics output.

Battery not charging
