Un fantastico team di studenti del nostro programma educativo ha realizzato questo wiki.
The Laptop Will Not Turn On
No matter how many times you try, the laptop will not turn on.
Low Battery
Make sure that the laptop has been charged. A dead or very low battery may prevent the laptop from turning on. If the laptop will turn on while on the charger, it likely just needs to charge.
Short Battery Life
If the laptop is fully charged but still dies after only a few hours, the battery may need to be replaced. A link to a battery replacement guide will be provided here once the guide has been created.
Static Discharge
Perform a Power drain
- Shut down the computer.
- Unplug the computer from the wall socket.
- While the computer is ON, hold the power button down and wait for the computer to shut down and still hold the power button down for another 15 seconds.
Turn the computer ON and check if laptop will turn on.
Physical Discharge
Inspect your ac adapter for any physical damage as well as inspect your cables plugs and charging pins, this damage can be burn marks, twisted cables, or even a burnt smell coming from the adapter. Ensure that your charging cable is firmly attached to the adapter block. You should also ensure that the DC-in port on the laptop is not loose.
The Screen Will Not Turn On
The laptop powers on, lights can be seen, but the screen remains dark.
Low Screen Brightness
If the screen displays very faintly, the brightness may simply be turned all the way down. Check the brightness settings and try turning them up.
Windows Error
Occasionally, Windows will experience an error that causes the screen to remain dark. To reset the display connection, hold the Windows key, Ctrl, Shift, and B all at the same time, then release all at once.
Outdated Graphics Driver or Faulty LCD
If the screen is not turning on, but will display on a secondary screen, the LCD or LCD cables may be damaged. Alternatively, the graphics driver may be outdated and conflicting with the screen. Make sure the laptops graphics drivers are up to date. If the screen still will not display, the LCD display or cables will need to be replaced.
Screen Discoloration
The screen has colored streaks or patches, typically rainbow colored; running through it.
Outdated Graphics Drivers
Run the Intel Graphics Drivers program and check to see if your graphics drivers have any updates available. If your drivers are out of date, it can cause the LCD to display incorrectly.
Magnetic Interference
Strong magnetic fields from nearby electronics or magnets can disrupt the display of the screen. Try moving the laptop to a different room; if the screen returns to normal, it is the result of something in its original room.
Overheating
LCD screens have a limited operating temperature range between 0°C (32°F) and 50°C (122°F). Excessive heat can affect your LCD monitor's performance and cause discoloration. Factors such as insufficient ventilation, proximity to heat sources, or prolonged use without adequate cooling can lead to overheating and subsequent color discrepancies.
Environmental Factors
Persistent exposure to sunlight or extreme conditions like high humidity or excess dust can affect LCD monitors. Long-term sun exposure can lead to discoloration, while moisture and dust can infiltrate the monitor and distort colors. Extreme heat can permanently damage and destroy liquid crystals.
Overheating or Bad Performance
The laptop runs slow or crashes; under the keyboard feels warm.
Too Many Programs Running
Having a lot of apps and services open can put stress on the processor, and will decrease performance. It is best to disable unnecessary programs upon startup. To disable programs one can use Windows Task Manager, or use the settings menu. However, one should use caution when disabling programs so essential programs are not disabled.
Dirty Fan
Check the laptops air vents for dust, as dust buildup can prevent the laptop from properly cooling, If dust is present, it can safely be removed with a soft cloth, gentle brush, or a can of compressed air. If the fan is broken, a guide will be provided at a later date detailing how to replace it.
Damaged Elements
Your laptop is a sophisticated device comprising intricate components. If it is producing excessive heat, there's a chance that wear and tear may have caused damage to elements like the charging cable, adapter, or laptop ports. If such damage is evident, you may need to consider replacing the affected component.
Insufficient Internal Cooling
Even when your laptop includes an internal CPU cooling fan, investing in an external cooling pad could assist in dissipating excess heat during charging and resource-intensive tasks. Such a cooling pad offers supplementary cooling support to ensure your laptop operates optimally. However, it's important to note that the built-in cooling systems differ across devices, so it's essential to verify that the cooling pad you choose is compatible with your specific laptop model.
