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 the issue persists, contact support.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable

Verify your Wi-Fi router is functioning correctly. Restart your router and the laptop. Ensure you are within range of the router. If your router supports Wi-Fi 7, check its settings. Otherwise, the laptop will connect to older Wi-Fi standards at their respective speeds.

Screen is dim or flickering

Check the display brightness settings in Windows. Ensure the display drivers are up to date. If the issue persists, it may indicate a hardware problem, and you should contact support.

Touchpad not responding

Ensure the touchpad is not disabled via a function key. Restart the laptop. Check in Device Manager if the touchpad drivers are installed and enabled.

Applications are running slowly

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for resource-hungry processes. Ensure the laptop is not overheating, as performance can throttle. Consider upgrading RAM if you frequently exceed 16GB usage.
