Troubleshooting

Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and a working power outlet. Check if the LED charge indicator lights up. If the issue persists, try a different power outlet.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable.

Restart your router and the laptop. Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi signal. Check if your router supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for optimal performance. Update your Wi-Fi drivers on the laptop.

The display is dim or flickering.

Adjust the screen brightness settings in Windows. Ensure the display drivers are up to date. If flickering persists, there may be a hardware issue requiring professional attention.
