Troubleshooting

Laptop will not power 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, allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on.

Slow performance or freezing

Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs. Restart the laptop. Check for pending Windows updates and install them. If the issue persists, consider switching out of S mode to install more robust system tools or consider upgrading storage if possible.

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection issues

Toggle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off and then back on via the Windows Action Center. Restart the laptop. Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi router. Check if the WLAN controller drivers are up to date.

Screen display is dim or flickering

Adjust the screen brightness using the function keys or Windows display settings. If flickering occurs, ensure display drivers are up to date. If the issue persists, it may indicate a hardware problem.
