Troubleshooting

Laptop will not power on

Ensure the power 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.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable

Restart your router and modem. Ensure your laptop is within range of the Wi-Fi router. Check if Wi-Fi 6 is supported by your router for optimal performance. Update your Wi-Fi drivers through Windows Update or Dell's support website.

Fingerprint reader is not recognized

Ensure your finger is clean and dry. Re-register your fingerprint in Windows settings (`Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options`). If the issue persists, try restarting the laptop.

Screen is dim or display issues

Adjust screen brightness via keyboard shortcuts or Windows display settings. If issues persist, check display adapter drivers. Ensure the anti-glare coating is clean using a soft, dry cloth.

Applications are running slowly

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager (`Ctrl + Shift + Esc`) for resource-heavy processes. Ensure Windows and all applications are up to date. For demanding tasks, consider if the system's specifications are sufficient.
