To reset your Lenovo IdeaPad 720S-14IKB to factory settings, go to 'Settings' > 'Update & Security' > 'Recovery' > 'Reset this PC'. Follow the prompts to complete the reset process. Make sure to back up your data before proceeding.
First, ensure your laptop is charged. Try performing a hard reset by pressing and holding the power button for 10-15 seconds. If it still doesn't turn on, connect to a different power source or check the power adapter. If the issue persists, contact Lenovo support.
To improve battery life, reduce screen brightness, close unnecessary applications, disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, and enable battery saver mode under 'Settings' > 'System' > 'Battery'. Regularly updating your operating system and drivers can also help.
To connect to an external monitor, use the HDMI port or a USB-C to HDMI adapter, then connect the cable to the monitor. Go to 'Display Settings' to configure the display preferences, such as extending or duplicating the screen.
Regularly clean the keyboard and screen using a microfiber cloth and appropriate cleaners. Keep the laptop's vents clear of dust to prevent overheating. Update the system and drivers frequently, and perform regular antivirus scans.
The Lenovo IdeaPad 720S-14IKB has soldered RAM and does not support user upgrades. Consider using virtual memory or optimizing current RAM usage through system settings and applications to improve performance.
Overheating can be due to dust buildup or high CPU usage. Clean the vents with compressed air and ensure the laptop is on a hard, flat surface to allow proper ventilation. You can also check for any background processes that are using high CPU resources and close them if unnecessary.
To update the BIOS, visit the Lenovo support website, download the latest BIOS update for the 720S-14IKB model, and follow the provided instructions. Ensure your battery is fully charged and connected to power during the update process.
First, check if the touchpad is disabled using the 'Fn' key combination. Then, update or reinstall the touchpad driver via 'Device Manager'. If the issue continues, ensure the touchpad is enabled in the BIOS settings.
To toggle the keyboard backlight, press the 'Fn' key along with the spacebar. Each press cycles through the backlight options: off, low, and high brightness.
