Troubleshooting

Laptop not turning on

Ensure the AC adapter is properly connected to the laptop and a working power outlet. Verify the charger's wattage is within the 68W-100W PD range. Try a different compatible charger if available. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset by holding the power button for 15-20 seconds with the charger disconnected.

Slow performance or freezing

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for processes consuming high CPU or RAM. Ensure the operating system and all drivers are up to date. Restart the laptop. For persistent issues, consider running a system file check or a virus scan.

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection issues

Toggle Wi-Fi/Bluetooth off and on. Restart your router and modem. Update your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers through Device Manager. Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi network.

Screen display issues (e.g., flickering, distortion)

Check display cable connections if using an external monitor. Update graphics drivers. Adjust screen resolution and refresh rate settings. If the issue is with the laptop's built-in screen, ensure it's not physically damaged.

Battery not charging

Confirm the charger is within the 68W-100W PD specification and properly connected. Try a different compatible USB-C PD charger. Check the charging port for debris. Ensure the 'USB PD' setting is enabled in the BIOS if applicable.
