Troubleshooting

Laptop 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 using a docking station, try connecting the AC adapter directly to the laptop.

Adjust the screen brightness settings in Windows. Ensure the display driver is up to date. If flickering persists, check the display cable connection internally (professional service recommended) or contact support regarding potential hardware issues.
