Problem solving

  • Some of the later laptop ports, as USB-C, are more easily worn out. If you are unable to connect your laptop, try moving the cable around a bit.
  • If the system is still troublesome, a power reboot might be necessary. Pull out and reconnect the power cable. After rebooting, note that the system needs some minutes to restart.
