Maintenance
Cleaning Your Laptop
To clean the laptop, use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a specialized screen cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For the keyboard, use compressed air to remove dust and debris.
Battery Care
To maximize battery life, avoid extreme temperatures. It is recommended to occasionally discharge the battery completely and then fully recharge it. If storing the laptop for an extended period, ensure the battery is charged to about 50%.

Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions
- Laptop does not power on:
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and a working electrical outlet. Check the power indicator light on the adapter. Try a different outlet if necessary. If the battery is completely drained, it may take a few minutes of charging before the laptop can power on.
- No display on screen:
Check if the laptop is powered on. Try adjusting the screen brightness using the function keys (Fn + F11/F12). If an external monitor is connected, ensure it is properly connected and selected as the display output (Fn + F8).
- Wi-Fi not connecting:
Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled (Fn + F2 or through Windows settings). Restart your router and modem. Forget the network in Windows settings and try reconnecting. Ensure your Wi-Fi drivers are up to date.
- Slow performance:
Close unnecessary applications. Check Task Manager for processes consuming high CPU or RAM. Ensure sufficient free space on the SSD. Run a disk cleanup and defragmentation (for HDD, though this model has SSD). Scan for malware.
