Troubleshooting

Device will not power on

Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. If using battery power, ensure it is charged. If the issue persists, contact support.

Slow performance or system lag

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for resource-hungry processes. Ensure the laptop is running on AC power, as performance may be throttled on battery. Restart the device. Check for pending Windows updates or driver updates.

Wi-Fi connection issues

Restart your router and modem. Toggle Wi-Fi off and on within Windows settings. Ensure Wi-Fi 7 drivers are up to date. Forget the network and reconnect, re-entering the password. If the issue persists, try connecting via Ethernet to rule out hardware failure.

Display is dim or flickers

Adjust screen brightness settings in Windows. Ensure the display drivers are up to date. If the problem occurs only on battery, check power plan settings. If flickering persists, it may indicate a hardware issue with the display or cable, requiring professional service.

Peripherals not recognized

Try connecting the peripheral to a different USB port or Thunderbolt port. Ensure the peripheral's drivers are installed and up to date. Restart the laptop with the peripheral connected. For Thunderbolt devices, ensure Thunderbolt drivers and firmware are updated.
