How do I use the webcam privacy shutter?

The privacy shutter is a physical slider located directly above the webcam lens. Slide it to cover the lens when the camera is not in use to ensure your privacy.

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 battery is drained, allow it to charge for at least 15 minutes before attempting to power on.

Wi-Fi connection is unstable or slow

Restart your router and modem. Ensure your laptop's Wi-Fi drivers are up to date by checking for Windows updates. Try moving closer to the Wi-Fi router to improve signal strength.

Screen is dim or displays incorrectly

Adjust the screen brightness using the function keys or Windows display settings. If the issue persists, check if display drivers need updating via Windows Update or Lenovo's support site.

Keyboard is not responding

Restart the laptop. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the keys. Check if the keyboard is enabled in the BIOS settings. If the issue persists, contact support.

Poor audio quality from speakers
