Has it been activated before? You must contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them for activation as it's an OEM build.

Hi y2joey ,
Is the machine an OEM build ?Have you got the product key ?
We can make a phone call to activate again to have a check .
Run "slui 4" and follow the instructions.
If the issue persists,I agree with S.Sengupta,please contact the machine manufacturer for help .
