To upgrade the RAM, first ensure the laptop is powered off and unplugged. Remove the screws on the back panel to access the RAM slots. Insert compatible RAM sticks, ensuring they are securely seated. Reassemble the laptop and power it on to check the new RAM configuration.
Ensure that your laptop is placed on a hard, flat surface to allow proper ventilation. Clean the air vents with compressed air to remove dust buildup. Consider using a cooling pad and ensure your graphics drivers are up to date.
To perform a factory reset, go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. Under "Reset this PC", choose 'Get started' and follow the instructions to reset your laptop to its factory settings. Remember to back up your data before proceeding.
Check for any background applications that may be consuming power and close them if unnecessary. Adjust your power settings to "Battery Saver" mode and reduce screen brightness. Additionally, check for any system updates that may address battery issues.
Visit the ASUS support website to download the latest BIOS update for your model. Extract the downloaded file and follow the instructions in the README file. Use the ASUS EZ Flash utility in the BIOS setup to update the BIOS.
Ensure the keyboard backlight is enabled by pressing the function key (usually 'Fn') with the appropriate backlight key (often 'F3' or 'F4'). Check the ASUS Aura software settings, and update the keyboard driver if necessary.
Connect the external monitor using an HDMI cable to the laptop's HDMI port. Use the "Windows + P" shortcut to select a display mode. Ensure the external display is set to the correct input source.
Restart your router and laptop. Ensure your Wi-Fi driver is up to date by checking in the Device Manager. Disable Bluetooth if not in use and consider changing the Wi-Fi channel on your router to avoid interference.
Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. Use the ASUS Armoury Crate software to switch to 'Turbo' mode. Lower in-game settings if necessary, and close any unnecessary applications running in the background.
Use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water or a screen-cleaning solution. Gently wipe the screen in circular motions. For the keyboard, use compressed air to remove dust and debris, and wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.
