Troubleshooting

Laptop won't turn on

Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to the laptop and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. If the battery is depleted, charge it for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable

Restart your router and modem. Ensure you are within range of the Wi-Fi signal. Update your Wi-Fi driver through HP Support Assistant. Check if Wi-Fi 6E is supported by your router and network.

Screen is dim or flickering

Adjust the screen brightness settings in Windows. Ensure the display drivers are up to date. If flickering persists, check the display cable connection (internal) or consider a hardware issue.

Performance is sluggish

Close unnecessary applications. Check Task Manager for resource-heavy processes. Ensure the system is free of malware. Update Windows and all drivers. Consider upgrading RAM or storage if system requirements are consistently exceeded.

Fingerprint reader not working

Ensure the sensor is clean and dry. Re-register your fingerprint in Windows Hello settings. Check if the fingerprint reader driver is installed and updated via HP Support Assistant.
