To perform a factory reset on your Lenovo V130-14IGM, first back up your data. Restart the laptop and press the Novo button (usually next to the power button) to enter the Novo Menu. Select 'System Recovery' and follow the on-screen instructions.
Check if the power adapter and cable are properly connected. Try using a different power outlet. Inspect the charging port for debris. If the issue persists, it could be a faulty battery or adapter, requiring professional inspection.
Ensure your laptop is free from malware by running a scan with updated antivirus software. Uninstall unnecessary programs and disable startup programs via Task Manager. Consider upgrading your RAM or switching to an SSD for better performance.
Click on the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar to view available networks. Select your Wi-Fi network from the list, enter the password if prompted, and click 'Connect'. Ensure your Wi-Fi adapter is enabled if you encounter issues.
Reduce screen brightness, close unused applications, and disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not needed. Use 'Battery Saver' mode under Windows settings and keep the laptop in a cool environment to avoid overheating.
Ensure the touchpad is not disabled. Go to 'Settings' > 'Devices' > 'Touchpad' and check if it is turned on. Update or reinstall the touchpad driver via Device Manager.
Visit Lenovo's official support website, search for your model, and download the latest BIOS update. Follow the instructions provided in the documentation to safely update your BIOS. Ensure your laptop is connected to power during the process.
Clean the air vents and ensure good airflow around the laptop. Use a cooling pad to help dissipate heat. Keep the laptop on a hard surface to avoid blocking the airflow. Consider replacing thermal paste if overheating persists.
Adjust the screen resolution and scaling settings in the display settings. Update the graphics driver from the Device Manager. Ensure the display is clean and free from smudges.
Remove any external devices connected to the laptop and try booting again. Perform a hard reset by holding the power button for 10 seconds. If it still doesn't boot, access the BIOS to check boot order settings and run diagnostics.
