No Power / Device Not Turning On:

• Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the Mini PC and a working power outlet.

No Display Output:

• Check if the HD (HDMI) cable is securely connected to both the Mini PC and the monitor/TV.

• If the issue persists, try pressing the CLR CMOS button on the front panel with a thin object (like a paperclip) while the device is off, then power it on again. This resets BIOS settings to default.

Slow Performance:
