Check the Power Source: Ensure that the laptop is properly charged and connected to the power adapter. Verify that the power adapter is functioning correctly by checking if the power indicator LED lights up when it's plugged in.
Hard Reset: If the laptop is unresponsive, perform a hard reset by disconnecting the power source and removing the laptop's battery (if possible). Hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, then reconnect the battery and power source to see if it powers on.
Test with Another Charger: If you have access to another compatible charger, try it to rule out charger issues.
Inspect Charging Port: Inspect the charging port for any physical damage or debris. Sometimes, dirt or lint can block the connection.
Motherboard Check: If none of the above steps work, it may be a more complex issue with the motherboard or other internal components, and professional repair might be required.

Check Sleep Mode: Ensure that the laptop is not in sleep or hibernation mode. Press a key or move the touchpad to wake it up.
External Monitor Test: Connect an external monitor to the laptop to check if the laptop itself is working. If the external monitor displays an image, the issue may be with the laptop's built-in screen.
Display Cable Inspection: If you're comfortable opening the laptop, inspect the display cable to see if it's loose or damaged. Reconnecting or replacing it might resolve the issue.
Graphics Driver Update: If the screen is flickering or showing artifacts, update or reinstall the graphics driver.
Hardware Failure: If the laptop screen remains blank, it could be a hardware failure, and professional repair might be necessary.

Close Background Applications: Close unnecessary background applications to free up system resources. Use the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to identify and close resource-intensive processes.
Malware Scan: Run a malware scan to check for viruses or malware that might be slowing down the laptop.
Hardware Upgrade: Consider upgrading the RAM or replacing the HDD with an SSD for improved performance.
Resource Monitoring: Use the Task Manager to monitor CPU and RAM usage, helping identify which applications are consuming the most resources.

Clean Input Devices: Clean the keyboard and touchpad, as debris or dust can affect their functionality. Use compressed air and a soft brush to remove dirt.
Driver Updates: Check for driver updates related to the keyboard and touchpad. Download and install the latest drivers from the Asus website.
Key Testing: If specific keys are not working, test them individually to identify if it's a hardware issue. If a key is consistently unresponsive, you may need to replace the keyboard.
Touchpad Settings: For touchpad problems, ensure it's not disabled in the settings (Settings > Devices > Touchpad). Adjust sensitivity and other settings as needed.

Wi-Fi Troubleshooting: Check if Wi-Fi is enabled and you are connected to the correct network. Restart your router or modem if you're experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity problems.
Network Driver Update: Update or reinstall network drivers, especially if you're experiencing network connectivity issues.
Ethernet Test: Test the network connection with an Ethernet cable to determine if the issue is related to Wi-Fi. If the Ethernet connection works, it may be a Wi-Fi problem.
Network Settings: Check your network settings, including IP configuration and DNS settings, to ensure they are configured correctly.

Battery Health Check: Check the battery's health through Windows' built-in battery report. Open a command prompt and enter "powercfg /batteryreport" to generate a battery report.
Battery Calibration: Calibrate the battery by fully charging it and then discharging it completely. This can help improve the battery's accuracy.
Replacement: If the battery doesn't hold a charge or has significantly degraded, it may need replacement. Consider purchasing a new battery.
