Troubleshooting

Device does not power on.

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the PC and a working power outlet. Try a different power outlet if available. Check if any indicator lights are on.

Slow performance or unresponsiveness.

Close unnecessary applications. Restart the computer. If issues persist, consider upgrading the RAM or ensuring the system has sufficient storage space. Check for background processes consuming high resources.
