Troubleshooting
Laptop does not power on
Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. If the issue persists, contact support.
Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable
Verify your Wi-Fi router is functioning correctly. Restart your router and the laptop. Ensure you are within range of the router. If your router supports Wi-Fi 7, check its settings. Otherwise, the laptop will connect to older Wi-Fi standards at their respective speeds.
Screen is dim or flickering
Check the display brightness settings in Windows. Ensure the display drivers are up to date. If the issue persists, it may indicate a hardware problem, and you should contact support.
Touchpad not responding
Ensure the touchpad is not disabled via a function key. Restart the laptop. Check in Device Manager if the touchpad drivers are installed and enabled.
Applications are running slowly
Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for resource-hungry processes. Ensure the laptop is not overheating, as performance can throttle. Consider upgrading RAM if you frequently exceed 16GB usage.
