To connect an external monitor, use the HDMI port on the laptop. Simply connect an HDMI cable from the laptop to the monitor and select the appropriate input source on the monitor. You may need to adjust display settings via Windows Display Settings.
First, check the power adapter and cable for any visible damage. Ensure that the power outlet is functional. Try using a different compatible charger if possible. If the problem persists, consider resetting the battery by using the Novo button to enter BIOS and reset to default settings.
To extend battery life, reduce screen brightness, disable unnecessary background applications, and use battery saver mode. Regularly update your operating system and drivers, and avoid extreme temperatures.
To perform a factory reset, go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. Under 'Reset this PC', click 'Get started' and choose either 'Keep my files' or 'Remove everything'. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reset.
To enable touchpad gestures, go to Settings > Devices > Touchpad. Here, you can enable gestures and customize them according to your preferences. Ensure that the touchpad driver is up to date.
First, check for and close any unnecessary background applications. Perform a disk cleanup and defragment your hard drive. Scan for malware and ensure that your system is updated with the latest patches and drivers. Consider upgrading RAM if performance issues persist.
Visit Lenovo's official support website and download the latest BIOS update for your model. Follow the provided instructions carefully, as improper updates can cause system issues. Ensure your laptop is plugged in during the update process.
Turn off the laptop and unplug it. Use a microfiber cloth dampened with water or a screen-cleaning solution to gently clean the screen. Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove debris from the keyboard. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Use the Lenovo Vantage software to check for and install the latest drivers. Alternatively, visit Lenovo's support website and download drivers manually, ensuring compatibility with your laptop model and operating system version.
Restart the laptop and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings by pressing F2 or the Novo button during startup. Navigate to the 'Security' tab and enable 'Intel Virtualization Technology'. Save changes and exit the BIOS setup.
