Troubleshooting
Device does not power on.
Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to the laptop and a working power outlet. Check if the charging indicator light is on. If not, try a different outlet. Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds for a hard reset.
Wi-Fi connection is unstable or slow.
Restart your router and modem. Ensure your laptop is within range of the Wi-Fi signal. Update your Wi-Fi drivers via Device Manager. Check if Wi-Fi 7 is supported by your router for optimal performance. Forget the network and reconnect.
Screen is unresponsive to touch.
Restart the laptop. Ensure the screen is clean. Check for any protective films that might be interfering. Run the Windows touchscreen calibration tool: search for 'Calibrate the screen for pen and touch input'.
Poor performance or frequent freezing.
Close unnecessary applications. Check Task Manager for resource-heavy processes. Ensure Windows and all drivers are up to date. Run a disk cleanup and disk defragmentation. Consider temporarily disabling startup programs.
Audio issues (no sound or distorted sound).
Check the volume levels and ensure the mute function is off. Restart the laptop. Update audio drivers through Device Manager. Test with headphones to isolate the issue to the internal speakers.
