A: There are 3 main possible reasons for this problem: bad connection, improper temperature condition, or damaged battery or adapter.

As for bad connection, the user should:

1. Check all connectors to ensure proper connectivity;
2. Unplug the supplied power adapter from the wall and verify that the outlet is functioning;
3. Check all cable connections, plug the adapter back into the device, and then plug back into the wall socket;

In regards to improper temperature conditions, i.e. the device’s temperature is below 0°C or higher than 35°C,  the user should change the location and charge the battery in an ambient temperature between 0°C to 35°C. If the battery or adapter has been damaged, contact an authorised reseller to replace the battery or power adapter.

A: If the device is not in range of a network it can connect to, the device continues to send out signals to locate a base station and drains the battery. So, temporarily turn on the device, or move the device in range of a network it can connect to, or temporarily turn on the wireless connection on your device.

In addition, if the device keeps checking for Windows updates, even in Standby mode, the battery will drain quickly too. It is normal in this case. The user can disable

• Complete all available updates; continue to perform updates until there is no more remaining when you click ‘Check for updates’ in Update & Security Settings
• Ensure that the keyboard lock is not turned on- this can be found on the right-hand side of the device, next to the power button
• Check that the touchpad lock is not turned on, via your function keys (Fn + F3)
• Troubleshoot your keyboard via the Update & Security Settings
• Fully shutdown the device and restart.

Please also check Device Manager to ensure your drivers are all functioning and updated. If you have any ‘Unknown’ devices or drivers in Device Manager, please use the attached driver sheet to update.

As a final resort, we recommend resetting the device back to factory settings- you will need to remove all files and settings. Please externally backup any files you wish to keep before you perform this action.
