Preface
Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information.
1. This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC CONFIGURATION
decided for Acer's "global" product offering. To better fit local market requirements and enhance product
competitiveness, your regional office MAY have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g.

in this generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible
personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.
2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information
available on your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will
not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer
office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service
Guide. You MUST use the list provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and
service of customer machines.

Touchpad
The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor
responds as you move your finger across the surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest
provides optimum comfort and support.

Touchpad Basics
The following items show you how to use the touchpad with two-click buttons.

1 2 3

• Move your finger across the touchpad (1) to move the cursor.
• Press the left (2) and right (3) buttons located beneath the touchpad to perform selection and execution
functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the
touchpad is the same as clicking the left button.

NOTE: When using the touchpad, keep it - and your fingers - dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to finger
movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not increase the
touchpad’s responsiveness.
NOTE: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on your touchpad. It can be disabled under
Mouse settings in Windows Control Panel.

Using the Keyboard
The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, Windows, function
and special keys.

Lock Keys and Embedded Numeric Keypad


The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

Lock Key Description


Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.
Num Lock When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys function as a
<Fn> + <F11> calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode when you
need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution would be to connect an external
keypad.
Note: <Fn>+<F11> only for certain models.
Scroll Lock When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up or
<Fn> + <F12> down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some applications.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters
located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols
are not printed on the keys.

3. Follow onscreen instructions.
If an error occurs, reconnect the drive to the connector on the mainboard. If the error persists, do the following:
1. Reconnect the CD/DVD-ROM drive.
2. Replace the CD/DVD-ROM drive.
3. Replace the mainboard.

Keyboard or Auxiliary Input Device Check


Remove the external keyboard if the internal keyboard is to be tested.
If the internal keyboard does not work or an unexpected error occurs, make sure that the flexible cable
extending from the internal keyboard is correctly connected to the mainboard. If the keyboard cable
connection is correct, run the Keyboard Test.
If the tests detect a keyboard problem, do the following procedures in sequence to correct the problems. Do
not replace a non-defective FRU:
1. Reconnect the keyboard cable.
2. Replace the keyboard.
3. Replace the mainboard.
The following auxiliary input devices are supported by this computer:
• Numeric keypad
• External keyboard
If any of these devices do not function, reconnect the cable and repeat above procedures.

Memory Check
NOTE: Make sure that the DIMM is properly installed into the connector. A loose connection can cause an
error.
Do the following:
1. Boot from the diagnostic diskette and start the diagnostic program.
2. Go to the diagnostic memory in the test items.
3. Press F2 in the test items.
4. Follow onscreen instructions.

Power System Check
Do the following:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Connect the power adapter and check the power supply.
3. Disconnect the power adapter and install the battery pack; then check that power supply.
If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate power supply check in the following list:
• “Check the Power Adapter” on page 89
• “Check the Battery Pack” on page 89

Check the Power Adapter


Unplug the power adapter cable from the system and measure the output voltage at the plug of the power
adapter cable.
1. If the voltage is not correct, replace the power adapter.
2. If the voltage is within range, do the following:
a. Replace the System board.
b. If the problem is not resolved, see “Undetermined Problems” on page 103.
c. If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step.
NOTE: An audible noise from the power adapter does not always indicate a defect.
3. If the power-on indicator does not light up, check if the adapter’s power cord is properly connected to the
system.
4. If the operational charge does not work, see “Check the Battery Pack” on page 89.

Check the Battery Pack


Do the following:
Using the software to identify whether a problem occurs while the battery pack during recharge or discharge:
1. Open Power Management in the Control Panel.
2. In Power Meter, confirm if the parameters for Current Power Source and Total Battery Power Remaining
are correct.
3. Repeat the steps 1 and 2 for both battery and adapter.
Using the hardware to identify whether you should replace the battery pack or not:
1. Power off the system.
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between terminals one (+) and seven (-). There are
seven terminals totally.
3. If the voltage is still less than 7.5 Vdc after recharging, replace the battery.
If the battery status indicator does not light up, remove the battery pack . If the charge indicator still does not
light up, replace the AC/DC charger board.

Touchpad Check
If the touchpad doesn’t work, do the following procedures in sequence to correct the problem. Do not replace
a non-defective FRU:
1. After rebooting, run Tracking Pad PS2 Mode Driver. For example Syn touch driver.
2. Run utility with the PS/2 mouse function and check if the mouse is working.
3. If the PS/2 mouse does not work, then click if the main board to switch board FPC is connected properly.
4. If the main board to switch board FPC is connected correctly, then check if the FFC on the touch pad PCB
is connected properly.
5. If the FFC on the touch pad PCB is connected correctly, check if LS851 JP1 Pin6 = 5V are pules. If yes,
then replace switch board. If not, then go to the next step.
6. Replace the touch pad PCB.
7. If the touch pad still does not work, then replace the FPC on Track Pad PCB.
After you use the touchpad, the pointer drifts on the screen for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement
will occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the touchpad pointer. This symptom is not a hardware
problem. No actions are necessary to be taken if the pointer movement stops in a short period of time.

Power-On Self-Test (POST) Error Message
The POST error message index lists the error message and their possible causes.
NOTE: Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in FRU/Action column, if the FRU
replacement does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a
non-defective FRU.
The error messages are listed in the coming pages to indicate the BIOS signals on the screen and the error
symptoms classified by functions. If the symptom is not included on the list, please refer to “Undetermined
Problems”.
NOTE: Most of the error messages occur during POST. Some of them display information about a hardware
device, e.g., the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device, such as the
way it has been configured.
NOTE: If the system fails after you make changes in the BIOS Setup Utility menus, reset the computer, enter
Setup and install Setup defaults or correct the error.

* If the BIOS detects error 2C, 2E, or 3O (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional word-bitmap (xxxx) indicating
the address line or bits that failed. For example, "2C 0002" means address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. "2E 1020"
means data bits 12 and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set) have failed in the lower 16 bits. Note that error 30 cannot occur on 386SX
systems because they have a 16 rather than 32-bit bus. The BIOS also sends the bitmap to the port-80 LED display. It
first displays the check point code, followed by a delay, the high-order byte, another delay, and then the low-order byte
of the error. It repeats this sequence continuously.

Intermittent Problems
Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a
hardware defect, such as: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement
should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.
When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:
1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the mainboard in loop mode at least 10 times.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.
3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.

Undetermined Problems
The diagnostic problems does not identify which adapter or device failed, which installed devices are incorrect,
whether a short circuit is suspected, or whether the system is inoperative.
NOTE: Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.
NOTE: Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. (See “Power
System Check” on page 89.)
Follow procedures below to isolate the failing FRU. Do not isolate non-defective FRU.
1. Power off the computer.
2. Visually check them for damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.
3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:
• Non-Acer devices
• Printer, mouse, and other external devices
• Battery pack
• Hard disk drive
• DIMM
• CD/DVD-ROM drive
• PC cards
4. Power on the computer.
5. Determine if the problem has been resolved.
6. If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failed FRU.
7. If the problem persists, replace the following FRU one at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.
• System board
• LCD assembly

Standard Operation Procedures of Password Bypassing and BIOS Recovery
For RD and CSD to debug easily, the system provide one hardware open gap for bypassing password check,
and one hotkey to enable BIOS recovery. As to BIOS recovery, except for BIOS recovery hotkey, you can also
use crisis disk to restore BIOS.
1. Hardware open gap:
Gap Description
G41 Bypassing Password Check

RD/CSD can enable or disable this function by shorting the gap. The gap is located as shown.

2. Hotkey to enable BIOS Recovery: Fn+ESC, then Power Button. To use this function, it is strongly
recommended that the AC adapter is connected to the system and plug-in to a wall outlet and the Battery
is also in the system
3. Restore BIOS by the Crisis Disk
Enable this function by pressing the combination: Fn+ESC, and pressing the Power Button. To use this
function, it is strongly recommended that the AC adapter is connected to the system and plug-in to a wall outlet
and the Battery is also in the system. If this function is enabled, the system will force the BIOS to enter a
special BIOS block, called BootBlock. RD/CSD can use this special BIOS code to recover the BIOS to a
successful one if previous BIOS flashing process fails. However, before doing this, one Crisis Disk should be
prepared in WinXP. Detailed steps are as the followings:
a. Prepare the Crisis Disk in WinXP.
b. Insert the Crisis Disk to a USB floppy drive which is attached to the failed machine.
c. While the system is turned off, press and hold Fn+ESC, then press Power Button. The system
should be powered on with Crisis Recovery process.
d. BootBlock BIOS starts to restore the failed BIOS code. Short beeps should be heard when flashing.
e. If the flashing process is finished, a long beep should be heard.
f. Power down the system after you hear the long beep.
If the crisis recovery process is finished, the system should be powered on with the successful BIOS. RD/CSD
can then update the BIOS to a workable one by regular BIOS flashing process.
