To perform a factory reset, go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. Under 'Reset this PC', click 'Get started' and follow the instructions. Ensure you back up important data before proceeding.
First, ensure the laptop is charged by connecting the power adapter. Try a hard reset by pressing and holding the power button for 10-15 seconds. If it still doesn't turn on, check for any visible hardware damage or consult Lenovo support.
Reduce screen brightness, disable unnecessary background apps, and use battery saver mode. Also, updating drivers and the operating system can optimize battery performance.
Visit Lenovo's official website and navigate to the support section. Enter your laptop model and download the latest drivers. Alternatively, use Lenovo Vantage to automatically update your drivers.
Use the HDMI or USB-C port to connect to an external monitor. Once connected, press Windows + P to select the display mode (e.g., duplicate, extend).
Uninstall unnecessary programs, disable startup programs, and run a virus/malware scan. Consider upgrading RAM or switching to an SSD if not already equipped.
Turn off the laptop and unplug it. Use compressed air to blow out debris and gently wipe the keys with a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled and airplane mode is off. Restart your router and laptop. Update the Wi-Fi driver via Device Manager. If issues persist, troubleshoot using Windows Network Diagnostics.
Go to Settings > Devices > Touchpad and toggle the switch to off. Alternatively, you can disable it via the touchpad settings in the Control Panel.
Visit Lenovo's support page and download the latest BIOS update for your model. Follow the instructions carefully. Ensure your laptop is plugged in during the update to prevent power loss.
