Black Screen on Power-On

Screen appears black while computer is on

Display Settings Misconfigured

There is a chance that the settings are making the screen appear off when it is not. Press and hold fn+F5. This should turn up the brightness in the event the monitor is simply too dark to see.

Try the fn+F8 key. This switches the display mode if the computer was trying to display to a different output.

Extra Monitor Interference

Try using an HDMI cable to an external monitor to see if it can display. See if the fn+F8 command to toggle display modes. If it works on the external monitor but not the in-built one, then that means the problem is a power issue or faulty connection.

If you were already connected to an external monitor try disconnecting to see if the display returns to the onboard monitor. Sometimes a monitor may quit outputting to its default monitor if another one is detected.

Battery Issues

The battery may not be transferring power correctly. To start, make sure your power cable is plugged in fully and its indicator light is glowing. The light should be located on the block of the cable. If it is not functioning you may need to replace the cable.

If the cable is working remove the battery as described in this guide*. Reconnect the power cable to the laptop and try powering it on.

New drivers not working

Sometimes the devices will not recognize the new drivers until you restart the laptop.

Unusually Short Battery Life

The battery is draining faster than it used to

Disable Extra Power Drainers

Adjust some quality of life settings. Lower screen brightness by using the fn+F4 hotkey. Additional power settings can be found under Start Menu(bottom left hand of windows)> Settings(gear icon)>Systems>Power & Sleep

Unwanted Programs

Having too many processes or programs running at once will cause unnecessary battery drain. Open tabs can be closed using the ‘X’ in the top right. Programs that are not visible can be seen by opening task manager (ctrl+alt+delete). Click on a task you do not need and click on it then press end task.

You may want to consider uninstalling or disabling some of these programs so they will not automatically run on startup. Microsoft OS features like Cortana/Xbox can be disabled through Settings>Privacy>Background and third party programs can be uninstalled through Settings>Apps & Features

Battery Issues

If the battery life has shortened, while running the same settings and programs it used to, you may need to replace the battery.

Touchpad Unresponsive

The reasons that it might cause the touchpad to be unresponsive is that the drivers are out of date.

Improper installation of the Touchpad drivers

Open device manager, right click the name of the device, then select the uninstall option.
