Most all wireless cards are going with a usb port, if not look for a slot. The slot may be larger than the card because some slots and cards have a cut away. You should be able to insert without damage if you do not force it. Hope this helps...
2 :
Usually laptops have a slot called the PCMCIA slot. This is the slot on the side of the laptop that you can put your finger in, almost like little doors. This is where your air card would go.

What do I need to hook up my Acer laptop to my Vizio LCD TV?
I have an Acer Aspire 7720-6155 laptop and I would like to play a DVD and watch it on my Vizio 42" LCD TV. What do I need to be able to do this?

Some models of that laptop have just VGA, some models have SVIDEO and DVI connectors as well. Your best bet is to take your laptop to BestBuy or your local Electronic store maybe RadioShack even. Show them what you have, tell them what you are doing, and then you can be helped in person. Because without SEEING your laptop to see what the manufacturer actually added to that particular run on build we can't help you 100%. Besides, it is just a much safer bet. You would otherwise have to risk gas money running back and forth buying stuff and testing it and possibly returning it which is a pain. You just need a cable, so... It will be VGA to RGB, DVI to HDMI, or SVIDEO male to male.
2 :
Your computer has s-video and VGA ports. your tv should have one or both of these. google "VGA port" and "S-Video port" so you can identify these on your tv, then purchase one of these cables

Will a dell oem disk work with my acer laptop?

Will a dell oem disk work with my acer laptop?
Just wondering whether or not the activation will work because the disk that came with my acer laptop is full of trials.
Laptops & Notebooks - 5 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
It may, but it's illegal to do so. The disk is OEM'd to Dell, and is required to be installed on the machine it was destined for. Also, it is going to put in all dell drivers and software, and be hell to get to work right on an Acer.
2 :
No, it won't. You just have to remove the crapware and bloatware manually, or make your own reinstall disk.
3 :
Yes, if you install by cd rom drive, but if you just pop the CD and do an upgrade no.
4 :
it will but i dont think it will pass windows authentication.. the oem disks are usually limited to the motherboard they are sold with.
5 :
ran a dell windows cd on a compaq it install fine try to activate it,kept saying this cd is use for new install on dell pcs, install well on a dell pc ,to sum it up, no! it might install but it won't activate on that acer laptop

Why does every charger i get for my acer laptop die?

only thing I can recommend is go to the acer web sight and buy a power cord specially made for your laptop.. sometimes theirs certain voltage requirements

I can only say that possibly you pulled on your laptop charger or that the laptop charger's quality is bad. I would extremely recommend that you buy your next one from Topmic.com or Topmicrousa.com because they offer Life Time warranty on all laptop ac adapters. This way, you don't have to worry about your charger dying again. http://www.topmic.com/laptop-ac-adapter-power-supply-charger-and-power-cord--acer.html http://www.topmicrousa.com/acer-ac-adapter.html Best of luck!

I don't see why not. That's why the word UNIVERSAL is in the description. It's intended to work with as many brands as possible. Plus, acer doesn't exactly "brick wall" their customers into using only their products like other companies. Just check the size of the port on your computer and make sure the male end of the charger will fit into it. As simple as that.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening with my Acer laptop?
I have an old Acer Aspire 5515 laptop.... The screen does not show up when I turn on the computer. But it does show when I put the computer on any of the 3 safe mode options. Just wanted to know how I could possibly fix this problem and why it keeps happening. Thanks to any and all who can give me some insight. I just tried what you said and it didn't work. The screen still doesn't show up. Is their anything else I can possibly do??

It is possible that one of the drivers on the normal startup is bad which would cause it to not work but when you run it in safe mode it doesn't load that driver. The best thing you can do is turn off the computer then when you turn it back on as soon as it starts to boot up hold F8 until you hear a beep then it will give you a lot of options how to start choose, last known good configuration and that should fix the problem.

There are many known ways to reset / remove / bypass BIOS password: * By removing the CMOS battery * By using the motherboard jumper * By using MS DOS command * By using Backdoor BIOS password but if it is the windows password,then you have to use a windows password recovery tool to reset the password,here it is:http://www.recoverlostpassword.com/products/windowspasswordrecoery.html

How can I uncrash my Windows XP acer laptop? It turns on, but start up halts at the 'acer' screen -- if I try to press F2, it says 'please wait' but nothing happens; it just freezes!

Well you'll need to find out why first. I would try a new HD to start with.

Sounds like you got massive registry problems. You may need to insert windows disc and restart computer. When prompted, repair your operating system. It should get you back up and running. You may wanna invest in spayware/malware removal software as well as registry scanner/repairer.
3 :
Hi, Go to BIOS using key like either f2 or f8or f10 or f11 whichever is for BIOS in acer and do a test on your hard drive. If it passes it means your hard drive is working excellent.( NOTE: It is not necessary that u shall have option for Hard Drive Test in ACER ). If u dont get option in BIOS then Just reinstall opreating system using a recovery CD or using Windows XP CD or any operating system u want. I Hope it works for u. Bye
4 :
Computers crash in most cases for registry problems. When you first buy your computer and bring it home it runs at optimum speed, but over time the registry becomes overloaded with unnecessary files and programs. Some of these files become corrupt and problems develop such as the computer crashing.You can fix these current computer crashes by running a registry cleaners.I should like to commend Registry Easy http://computer-e-book-money.com to you ! You can try ! Good luck!

Your right to be careful. If you check the voltage, output current and pin configuration of both power packs and they are identical, you should be fine. A brand new laptop? Wow, good on you.

This usually happens when the cmos battery on your motherboard is dying. It looks like a watch battery on your motherboard and holds the bios settings and things like date and time when the pc is off. Very easy to fix and very cheap. If you are worried to open the PC yourself, just take it to a pc repair place. They will do it in a minute and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Can I charge my ACER laptop with an USB charger connection?

Can I charge my ACER laptop with an USB charger connection?
The place where you insert the charger into the back of my ACER laptop is not working. The cord some how pushed the piece in. I want to know if it is possible for me to charge the laptop through one of the USB ports.
Laptops & Notebooks - 1 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
No. USB cannot handle the amount of power needed to run a laptop and does not have the functionality to do so. The reason the AC jack is broken is not because it was pushed in, but because you used it with the AC plugged into the computer and was not careful. People do not realize how fragile the connection is, it is just a piece of plastic. So likely someone tripped over the cord while it was plugged in, or moved it while the cord was plugged in and bumped it or simply put pressure on it while it was plugged in. The bottom line is you will have to pay to have someone resolder the AC connection to the motherboard and repair the jack. This is not cheap, nor is it permanent because the replacement is not done with original parts. Expect to pay ~$150-300 for repair, as the technician will likely have to completely disassemble the laptop to get to the jack.

Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Don't do it unless it is exactly the same voltage and wattage as the Acer. The voltage and wattage are on the label of the power adapter.
2 :
Laptops use DC power adapters. Each laptop requires a specific adapter that outputs a particular Voltage and Amperage, this information can be found on the adapter. As long as these two numbers match for the Output side of the adapter, and the plugs are exactly the same, then you should be ok, otherwise using it could kill your laptop.
3 :
if you are talking about just cord and not the entire charger (cord and adapter) then its fine. if you want to use entire charger, then i dont think it will be possible. the volt requirement will be different and even the connector connecting the laptop and charger may be different..
4 :
Yes a very good chance you will kill your Acer unless it is an exact match which is highly unlikely.

Can I change the battery in my acer aspire one laptop?

Posted on 00:21 by Unknown

Can I change the battery in my acer aspire one laptop?
I just got an acer laptop for christmas, and since i had been telling my parents that i wanted one with a 6-cell battery, i assumed that was what they bought me. i already personalized my laptop and put a lot of music in it and stuff. now i realized it's a 3-cell battery. if i buy a separate 6-cell battery, can i put it in the place of the 3-cell, or will it not fit?

go to acer site with model number and see, they surport and forums, or a call to a local tech. but they are costly, and likely you'll get three hours or more from battery you have.
2 :
The best resource is to go to Acer's web site and see if they sell the 6-cell battery as an accessory for your system. If they do, then the battery will work in your system with no problems.
3 :
I'm not quite sure, but when you go to buy it, bring your laptop. :)
4 :
It's hard to know.Write down your laptop model number,and call the acer support.Or go to acer website and see whether they sell the 6 cell batteries for your laptop.If you can't find more information,maybe you have to continue to use 3 cell battery.

these internal speakers might be damaged. you can verify if its a h/w problem and not any software or settings problem. just boot your system with any live cd/dvd for example Ubuntu and play any audio/vedio cd. and please remember not to try any mp3 as that might not be supported on default installation of live cd.
2 :
I would recommend trying to update your sound driver. Right click on My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager (on Windows XP). Find your sound card under the list > double click it > click driver > Update Driver. This will see if Microsoft has an update for the driver. If it does, it will be automatically installed. If not, I recommend going to the support website for your laptop and seeing if you can download the most recent driver for your sound card. If you manage to find and install a driver, be sure to restart your computer to make sure it takes effect. If none of this works, it may be possible that the speakers on your laptop are shot. It really wouldn't be worth it to replace the speakers on your laptop... you would be better off to purchase some computer speakers on Tiger Direct or Best Buy, at least so you can listen to your media without using headphones. Hope this helps. Good Luck :)

Your drivers may be out of date. Try updating them. Hope this helps.

Hi. Acers keep a factory OS copy in a hidden partition (PQservice) by default . Turn computer on. When the Acer splash is on screen hold Alt and keep pressing F10. You have just started erecovery management. You will need a password , if you have ran erecovery before you would have been asked to create a password. If you have never ran erecovery before the default is "000000" (six zeros). Select factory from top of list. Or You can run erecovery management from the Acer folder in start menu all programs list or from Acers tool bar if you have one. Run erecovery management . First time of running you will be asked to create a password. Then just click the restore tab at the bottom . Then select factory from top of list on next page. PS Both methods will work although the Alt and F10 combo is normally saved for when the computer will not boot.

How do you open an Acer laptop's screen?
I want to try to fix the connection on my Acer 3500 laptop. The warranty is most likely expired by now. The screen is motion sensitive and position sensitive to the quality it displays. If it is at the right conditions the picture is nice, otherwise it gets "blurry" and get bands of color on it. I want to check the connections to see if any are bad to fix it. Thanks for any suggestions and if you know how to open it. =)

Can a Sony Vaio recovery disk be used on an Acer Aspire laptop?
Today I bought a new hard Drive for my Acer laptop. I have recovery disks from when I bought it but the OS on these disks is Windows Vista. When I purchased this laptop it came with a free upgrade to windows 7 when it was released however I lost the disk. I do have a recovery disk for a Sony laptop which uses Windows 7. Will this work?

Would an Acer laptop be good for video editing?
I'm hoping to buy a new Acer laptop that sports 4GB of RAM and the new Intel Core i3. Compared to my current Advent laptop of 3GB and an Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3400, would it be worth buying for one such as myself who does quite a lot of video editing using the following programs: Sony Vegas Pro 10 and Adobe Premiere Pro 9?

Acer Extensa (4420-5239) Laptop

Posted on 00:02 by Unknown

How do I upgrade the wireless card in my Acer Laptop?
I have an Acer Extensa (4420-5239) Laptop. It comes with a Broadcom 802.11g network adapter. (WLAN). It doesn't provide a very good internet connection and I heard a 802.11n would be much better. Is that true? How do I find a compatible card? (Also, how do I install it?) Thank You.
Laptops & Notebooks - 1 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
The Broadcom one will be built-in, but if you look on the side of your laptop you will find an expansion slot with a little square button next to it (usually the left hand side on an Acer). There are 2 sizes of this slot (PCMCIA is the proper name for it), older, larger size, or the half size newer type so be careful and find out which you have. Then just buy the wireless card that size and you're sorted - any card of the right size will work magic. You could also just buy a wireless USB 802.11n dongle if you have a USB2 slot, but don't bother if it's just USB1.

Ummmm, Portability?
3 :
There really is only two things you need to decide upon. Do you need portability and do you have limited space? Today's laptops are much better than they were just a few years ago. They rival desktops in many ways, including processing power and speed. Are they up to the task of a good desktop machine? Nope. Lets see... Here's how I see it. Laptop benefits: 1. Portability 2. Less space required (compact) 3. Wireless technology has made it more useful around town. Hot spots!! 4. Your not tied to an electrical outlet, well at least not for a few hours anyway. (A laptop battery usually will last about 4 - 7 hours depending on the battery and what you are doing on the laptop.) Desktop benefits: 1. More powerful (usually) 2. Less money buys more computer. (cheaper) 3. Easily upgraded which makes it last longer. 4. Easier to fix. Separate components let you fix one thing, say replace a monitor. If the monitor dies on your laptop you may as well trash it, it's useless. 5. Bigger displays (although you could plug a laptop into an external display; but then what's the point?) 6. Larger hard drives (more space) 7. Less prone to break. (who drops a desktop?)

I actually just finished working on a acer like 2 days ago. They are some noisy machines omg... It will sound like it is about to go into orbit and then will be quiet for a minute and repeat. There is a temp sensor inside and when the inside hits that is when it goes into orbit. Best results i seemed to have was to sit something underneath it so that the air vents on the left side were not covered up and the hot air could get out. This seemed to stop it from going into orbit like every 5 minutes.
3 :
don't put it on your lap... it is not ment to used that way. most of the heat is from CPU. don't worrie about malfuction. if you are paranoid, you can get a notebook cumputer chiller mat. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=notbook+mat&x=0&y=0
4 :
Most laptops have their fan at the bottom side. If you put it on your lap, chances are you are stoping the airflow and so you get overheated. Make sure the fan does not rest on your leg.
