Troubleshooting

Laptop won't turn 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 Lenovo support.

Poor gaming performance or stuttering

Close unnecessary background applications. Ensure the laptop is in Performance mode using Fn+Q. Update graphics drivers from Lenovo's website or NVIDIA's. Check for overheating; ensure vents are clear.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable

Restart your router and modem. Update the Wi-Fi driver on your laptop. Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi signal. Try connecting via Ethernet cable to test network speed.

Screen display issues (flickering, dead pixels)

Try adjusting display settings or updating graphics drivers. If flickering persists, check cable connections (if using an external monitor). For dead pixels, contact Lenovo support as this may be a hardware defect.

Keyboard backlight not working

Ensure the backlight function key is enabled. Check the settings within Lenovo Vantage or Legion Space for keyboard lighting options and ensure it's not turned off or set to a very low brightness.
