Troubleshooting
Laptop does 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 completely depleted, it may take a few minutes of charging before the laptop responds.
Slow performance or freezing.
Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs. Restart the laptop to clear temporary files and processes. Check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for resource-hungry programs. Ensure Windows and drivers are up to date.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection issues.
Toggle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off and on. Restart your router and modem. Update the wireless drivers through Device Manager or Lenovo Vantage software. Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi router.
Screen is dim or display is distorted.
Adjust the screen brightness using the function keys or display settings. Update graphics drivers. If distortion persists, check if the issue occurs in the BIOS/UEFI settings, which can help diagnose hardware problems.
Webcam not working.
Ensure the privacy shutter is open. Check if the camera is enabled in Windows Settings (Privacy & Security > Camera). Update the webcam driver. Test the camera with a different application.
