Troubleshooting
Laptop won't turn on.
Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the laptop and a working wall outlet. Try a different outlet. If the battery is completely drained, it might take a few minutes of charging before the laptop can power on.
Slow performance or applications crashing.
Check `Task Manager` (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to see if too many applications are running or if any single application is consuming excessive RAM (4GB is limited). Close unnecessary programs. Free up disk space on the C: drive. Run a system scan for malware.
Wi-Fi is not connecting or dropping.
Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled (check `Action Center`). Restart your router and modem. In `Device Manager`, check if the wireless adapter driver is up to date or needs to be reinstalled. Try `Windows Network Troubleshooter`.
Touchpad not responding.
Ensure the touchpad is not disabled (some laptops have a function key, e.g., Fn + F5 or F7, to toggle it). Check `Device Manager` for touchpad driver issues. Restart the laptop.
Battery drains quickly.
Adjust `Power & Sleep` settings in Windows to `Battery Saver` mode. Reduce screen brightness. Close background applications. Check `Battery usage by app` in `Settings` to identify power-hungry programs.
