- Charging Issues: Try a different USB cable and power adapter. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris. If using wireless charging, ensure proper alignment.
- Unresponsive Touchscreen: Restart the device. If the issue persists, perform a factory reset (note: this will erase all data).
