To perform a factory reset, turn off your laptop and then press the Novo button (a small button next to the power button) to enter the Novo Menu. From there, select "System Recovery" and follow the on-screen instructions to restore your laptop to factory settings.
Ensure the laptop is connected to a power source and that the charger is working. Perform a hard reset by disconnecting the battery and power supply, then press and hold the power button for 15 seconds. Reconnect the battery and power supply, and try turning on the laptop again.
To improve battery life, reduce screen brightness, disable unnecessary background programs, and use the 'Battery Saver' mode found in the Windows settings. Regularly updating the BIOS and drivers can also help optimize battery performance.
Check if the touchpad is disabled by pressing the function key combination (usually Fn + F6). If that doesn't work, update or reinstall the touchpad driver via Device Manager. Also, ensure the touchpad is enabled in the Windows settings.
Click on the network icon in the taskbar and select your Wi-Fi network from the list. Enter the network password when prompted and click "Connect." Ensure the wireless adapter is enabled and the airplane mode is turned off.
Your laptop may be running slow due to excessive background programs, insufficient RAM, or malware. Try closing unnecessary programs, running a virus scan, and considering a RAM upgrade. Regularly cleaning up disk space and defragmenting can also help.
Visit the Lenovo Support website and search for your model. Download the latest drivers and install them manually. Alternatively, use Lenovo Vantage software to automatically detect and install updates.
Check if the sound is muted or the volume is too low. Ensure the correct playback device is selected in the sound settings. Update the audio drivers via Device Manager or the Lenovo website. If the issue persists, try running the Windows audio troubleshooter.
Keep the laptop clean and free from dust, avoid extreme temperatures, and handle it with care. Regularly update the software and drivers, and avoid overcharging the battery. Use a quality laptop bag or sleeve for protection during transport.
Turn off the laptop and use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water or a screen cleaner. Gently wipe the screen in circular motions, avoiding excessive pressure. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.
